Castles and Deer Parks in Anglo-Norman England

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter (peer-reviewed) › peer-review

Abstract

Recent work has done much to illustrate the relationship between castles and their immediate environs, but the origins of ‘castle landscapes’ await detailed exploration. This article examines the spatial relationship between castles and deer parks in England and argues that the deer park became more important in castle landscapes after 1100. The changing relationship between the two elements can be linked to wider social changes during the twelfth century and a greater concern by patrons over the configuration of residential surroundings.
