Mining in a Medieval Landscape explores the history
and archaeology of the late medieval royal silver
mines at Bere Ferrers in the Tamar Valley in Devon.
It compares their impact on the landscape with less
intensive, traditional mining industries. The
analysis of maps and documents together with
archaeological field-survey work allows the mining
landscape to be reconstructed in remarkable detail,
including what is probably the first purpose-built
mining town in Britain.
Stephen Rippon is Professor of Landscape
Archaeology at the University of Exeter. Peter
Claughton is Conservation Officer of the National
Association of Mining History Organizations and an
active member of the international industrial
heritage committee TICCIH. Chris Smart was
responsible for field survey and historic landscape
analysis on the Bere Ferrers project.

i know the authors of this work and had contact with them on an academic level as part of my thesis project - thoroughly recommend it :thumbsup:

I went on Peter's walk round the Bere Ferrers sites at the 2007 NAMHO meeting. I'm tempted by the book.....

Anyone wishing to purchase this book would be advised not to at full retail price I have just received a flyer from Northern Mines Research society offering the volume at £15.00 rather than £20.00 direct from the publisher. I consider this sharp practice and leaves traders like myself seriously out of pocket

I apologies for those copies I have sold at the previous price for which I have no control and will be withdrawing the book from my stock with immediate effect

Not quite correct. The flyer says £15 + £3 post = £18.00

But it is still a dirty trick. I am surprise to find myself ageeing with Mike 😉

Tony thanks for your support there are things we agree on. I can't remember the weight of the book if it is over 750 gramm I would charge £3.00 too and that is at a loss as I use first class postage, usualy new packaging and A5 labels for printing my own postage
