Product Description The wealth of documentary material assembled in this volume brings to light the medieval origins of the most famous enclosure of modern Britain, and thereby makes an important contribution to our understanding of the making of the English landscape. The sources include many instruments of landconveyance among a large group of local freeholders, as well as a variety of manorial documents covering Holkham's several manors. Of particular importance is the "Neel cartulary", an exceptional document of medieval estate management and a key source for the study of the Norfolk landscape. Review 'This is an impressive product of the industry and scholarship of the editors, and represents a great achievement. Here for the first time those who have not toiled among the piles of archives kept at Norwich, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, or in the significant number of private muniment rooms in the region, can gain some insight into the sheer quantity and richness of the material.' Journal of the Society of Archivists, Volume 15, Number 2, Autumn 1994...important volume...an impressive piece of scholarship. The documents presented will no doubt be extensively quarried for information by many medieval scholars: but of equal interest (as is so often the case with publications of this kind) are the essays and scholarly apparatus which accompany them.' Landscape HistoryHere, meticulously edited, annotated, indexed, and in part reproduced on fiche, are numerous charters and grants concerned with the conveyance of land ... the achievement and the scholarship are impressive.'

Campbell, The Queen's University, Belfast, EHR, June '96 About the Author William Hassall was formerly Librarian to the Earl of Leicester, Holkham, and Senior Assistant Librarian, Bodleian Library, Oxford
