The Farming Landscape of Strata Florida with Professor David Austin
Discover the Farming Landscape of Strata Florida from kin to family farms.
Close examination of estate maps and other evidence by the Strata Florida Research Project has revealed a fascinating and surprising chronology for how the landscape has been created over the last thousand years to become what it is today. The day will be in three parts: 1. the estate maps of the later eighteenth century and what they actually show; 2. taking the eighteenth-century picture forward into the present; 3. going back in time to the landscape and the farming community as they existed just before the abbey was created and how much they retained of that older world.
