Just yesterday, I was reading a forthcoming book from Derek Turner, previously known for Edge of England: Landfall in Lincolnshire. He is looking at the many centuries of history of the villages of England in particular; he is looking at the English shires. The history that has been written from Bede to Nennius to Geoffrey of Monmouth—I am going back many centuries here—is tied to a sense of place and if you just build over the lot of it, all of that is lost.
