Abstract:
Takes as its starting point an unsigned seventeenth-century survey of sites along the river. This paper revisits sites from the confluence with the Wye to Leominster to gauge what remains of those surveyed in the seventeenth-century. Fieldwork and archival information are brought together to form a clearer picture of how the river was used prior to the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Navigation Acts and how the river was affected by the Acts. It is hazarded that the anonymous surveyor was one Daniel Dennell and the survey itself is found to have been very accurate. A gazetteer of sites is provided. Holroyd, Isabel
