From the Back Cover
Peter Fowler and his team of archaeologists, historians and scientists have investigated the landscape of the parishes of West Overton and Fyfield over 39 years, not merely as local history but as a microcosm of the English countryside. In setting out to answer the question 'How has this landscape come to look as it does?', they have made use of fieldwork, aerial photography, excavation, old maps and documents, geophysics and numerous analytical techniques on everything from standing buildings to flecks of charcoal. The resulting mountain of information contradicts the persistent myth of 'the unchanging English countryside'.
The first part of the book tells the story of the investigation, in the fields, on the downs, in the valley and in the woods. One result was to raise further questions and to highlight what is still unknown. So, in the second part, using imagination and insight, the authors build on their first-hand knowledge to tell another story, that of the ordinary yet extraordinary life led in this typical yet unique patch of English countryside - the land of Lettice Sweetapple.
