An English Countryside Explored

Set in West Overton, Wiltshire, around 1800, the narrative centers on Lettice Sweetapple, symbolizing the countless individuals influenced by and who influenced the landscape over millennia. Peter Fowler and his team explore the area's evolution through extensive research, including fieldwork, aerial photography, and excavation. Their findings challenge the notion of an "unchanging English countryside," revealing a complex history shaped by human interaction and environmental changes over 39 years of investigation.
