East Dean: A Landscape History

Following a request from a local farmer, work began on discovering and writing the landscape history of the manor of East Dean, near Singleton. Aerial photographs (LiDAR) taken as part of the South Downs National Park’s Secrets of the High Woods project have been overlain on the detailed maps drawn up in 1597 and more recently. The written records have been extensively trawled and the memories of residents have been recorded. The talk will reveal the results of this work and outline how the techniques can be applied to the study of any other area.
