Abstract
The student may already turn to a significant number of books dealing with the establishment of the basic settlement patterns of England in the Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and medieval periods (for example, Thorpe in Watson and Sissons (1964), Mitchell (1954), Chapters III and IV; Darby (1936); Hoskins (1955), Chapters II and III; and the Domesday Geographies edited by Darby’s team). More recently he has been provided with texts exploring rural location patterns with a strong emphasis on the role of distance factors (for example, Chisholm (1962) and Everson and Fitzgerald (1969)), while Clout (1972) has written an extremely useful introductory survey of rural geography, mainly from the standpoint of the present day.
