scholars would be interested in. The book contains crucial and important observations on suburbs, fortifications, land value, slums, gardens, bridges, quays, street-lighting, pavement, public order, clocks, church towers, gates, dikes, building regulations, fire prevention, zoning, traffic, squares, urban forestry, and river and canal locks. To readers that do not read this book cover to cover, many of these themes are less accessible than they could have been. For anyone working on these topics, it can be worthwhile to delve into this book. In sum, this book’s size and detail should not deter those who are not fully versed in Dutch urban history and the history of Amsterdam in particular. It is a very rich book on the development of urban space that deserves an international audience.

ABSTRACT The cultural landscape carries symbolic values or at least narratives that inspire experiences and create identities. Landscape is not just what we see but also how we see it: we use our eyes but interpret with our minds and ascribe values to the landscape for intangible reasons. Heritage protection seeks to save cultural values. In the northernmost part of Europe there are strong non-visible local elements of the Sámi landscape, but they are not always visible to the professionals evaluating it. Understanding tangible and intangible values of the landscape is crucial for guiding planning and land use. For the Sámi people, their cultural landscape is created through interactions between humans and nature over the course of many generations. The general Finnish view emphasises a cultural landscape as something modified and built by humans, and the Sámi region has been interpreted as a wilderness in the regional or even the national cultural landscape inventories. Being able to identify important values in the landscape allows the Sámi cultural heritage to carry itself forward and, thus, to help maintain the vitality of the Sámi culture. This article presents a contribution for specific challenges connected with the Sámi cultural landscapes and land use in northern Finland.

ABSTRACT The late twelfth–early thirteenth-century Fedderate Charter gives a unique view of aspects of the thirteenth-century landscape of North-east Scotland that is not available from other sources. It is a multi-purpose document shedding light on agricultural, economic and social change, landscape and place-name development, secular religious observance and routeways. The method employed to describe the boundary of the estate is also unusual and may relate to the size of the grant and customary methods of witnessing such events.

of maps: Merton, Corpus Christi and All Souls, for example, paid for detailed estate maps before 1600, but it took Christ Church until 1697 to commission its first — and that only of a 21⁄2-acre close in Buckinghamshire. Written surveys, too, were rare, and it was only in the early eighteenth century as agricultural profits rose that the college began to employ professional surveyors. While there are richly veined and well-illustrated chapters on the college’s livings, urban estates and mining interests, one way and another the main focus turns time and again to the college’s scattered rural holdings. These were not easily managed it seems, with tenants often wilfully taking advantage of ancient customs and practices, poor (or contradictory records) and an absentee landlord to promote their own interests. From around 1600 the college’s midland manors saw increasing enclosure, although often, it seems, Christ Church was unaware it that it was happening, notwithstanding that as arable was put down down to pasture its income from grain tithes would disappear. Curthoys has a good eye for the details of landscape change, of how when the Verneys enclosed land at East Claydon (Buckinghamshire) in 1741 they bought hedging plants from a nursery in Syresham (Northamptonshire), a mixture of aspen, crab and elm with the occasional oak, choosing the species best suited to wet or dry land. Grass seed was purchased, but some also came from the Verney’s own meadows which were left to go to seed. New waves of enclosure followed later, typically facilitated by Acts of Parliament, peaking in 1760–79 (still of good land) and 1790–1819 (typically light soils and wastes). As everywhere, at enclosure larger farms tended to be relocated out of villages into their new fields, and with this the old farmhouses were either subdivided into labourers’ cottages or pulled down. At Hillesden (Buckinghamshire), as this process took place what had been a long straggly village became four discrete hamlets. Not all enclosure went smoothly, as the case of Benson, Berrick and Ewelme (Oxfordshire) shows. Here, by 1829, the ghastly sounding main landowner, Thomas Newton, had spent thirty years trying to force through enclosure against the wishes of the area’s many small farmers who were supported by the local gentry and the vicar. Matters came to a head in 1830 when Newton attempted, for the third time, to introduce a Bill allowing enclosure. An infuriated crowd went to his farm, took sledgehammers to the house door, broke down his barn doors and destroyed his threshing machines — very much an echo of the Swing Riots which had begun in Kent earlier in the year in protest against enclosure and agricultural mechanisation. The demonstrators were soon brought to court: nine were transported, and five imprisoned.
