The Lost Villages of Britain

Meer over het boek

Exploring the historical decline of settlements, this illustrated study delves into the fate of thousands of villages that vanished, particularly during the medieval period when fragile structures succumbed to decay. It highlights evocative remnants, such as ruined churches, that stand as testaments to these once-thriving communities. The narrative suggests that the phenomenon of deserted villages may continue, urging readers to consider the evolving roles of these spaces in a changing landscape.
