This meticulous work aims to identify all of the assets of one English abbey, that of Winchcombe, founded in the 8th century. In addition to locating and plotting the actual lands and estates of the monastery, some 81 sites, Anne Ellis provides an overview of the landscape features of these sites. In particular she focuses her attention on just one manor at Sherborne, where a detailed picture of landscape change is built up.
