East Anglia Medieval Fenlands Economic Wealth

Abstract

Darby (1969, 1974) describes the economic geography of East Anglia from the 1087 Domesday census, and the 1327-34 and the 1640-1641 Subsidy tax assessments. The switch of wealth from the Uplands in the north and south, to the Lowlands in the centre, is illustrated through 55 map figures. Some are re-created here as thematic maps, using Ordnance Survey OpenData released last month under a creative commons attribution licence , with no restriction to re-use derived data. HC Darby map data keyed by A Zolnai to OS OpenData Boundary Line county shape files. GIS vector data. This dataset was first accessioned in the EDINA ShareGeo Open repository on 2011-03-25 and migrated to Edinburgh DataShare on 2017-02-22.
