📖 Description
From reading the title you may be wondering what `imparkment' means. It is actually the conversion of land into parks, either by the owners of manorial estates or the church. Way's survey is mainly focused on the environmental effects and changes in the landscape that `imparkment' brought about, though he does discuss social conflict that it caused. The bulk of the book consists of tables detailing documents relating to parks, a gazeteer of parks in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire and maps, both ancient and modern.
