The village of Laxton in Nottinghamshire and its landscape will form the subject of our group practical study underaken as part of this course. We will be applying Hoskins's research and field methodology to the Laxton landscape. Today Laxon is best known for the survival of Open Field farming, but its interest lays well beyond this peculiarity in the richness and diversity of its landscape and the wealth of surviving documentary evidence and historic cartography.
For now a good introduction to Laxton can be had from the Visitor Centre website.
