Planning English medieval ‘street towns’: the Hertfordshire evidence
Urban landscapes are neglected by landscape history. This paper uses the sub-set of Hertfordshire medieval towns to investigate the topographical characteristics of the most common plan family' of English town-plan types: the ‘street town’. It concentrates particularly on the influence of administrative boundaries and common land on the development of medieval urban topographies in this region. It then examines the characteristics of plot metrologies in Hertfordshire's street towns to suggest the variety of planning undertaken by overlords and individuals in time and space.
