“MEDIEVAL RURAL LIFE AND ORGANIZATION. The manorial village. Let⟳ us refresh⟳ our memory at first with a glance⟳ at country life in England in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. All rural life in England at this time was village life. Farmhouses were gathered into clusters sheltering a population ranging from fifty to a thousand persons. Radiating from and circling around each village were the plowlands, pastures, meadows, and woodlands, spreading open⟳; for the most part houseless, barnless, shedless, mill-less, even fenceless, clear to the similar lands, commons, and open⟳ fields belonging to the inhabitants of each adjoining village. The landscape picture presented, then, is a village cluster, surrounded at the extremities of irregular radii by a ring⟳ of similar clusters, all varying in size but separated from one another by open⟳, unfenced, agricultural land⟳. But the memory of each villager sticks to his own⟳ parcels of land⟳, whether held individually or in common, so definitely, that, even without ditch, wall, or survey stakes, a clean-cut, psychological boundary, very irregular in shape⟳ it may be surmised, divides the lands of one village from the lands of every adjoining village, and sets apart a certain group of villagers as a distinctive agricultural community.”
“The train⟳ landed us on a shedless shelterless platform and we had to run⟳ through the downpour across the line to the shelter⟳.”
“The only problem with being shedless was what to do with the clutter from the garden. For a few years I commandeered the kitchen.”
