Abstract (en)

Dodgshon is concerned with how township structure has changed over the course of the Medieval and early modern periods. His paper is organized around two interlocking sources of change: the social and tenurial relations around which townships were structured; and the agrarian functions or patterns of resource use around which townships were sectored. His aim is to show that what we see in the 18th c., the first point at which we have a cartographic view of township layout, was the compounded outcome of longstanding but contrary processes of change.
