The vale of Lyvennet

A richly illustrated local monograph that surveys a small valley’s natural features, antiquities, and folklore. Detailed pen drawings and measured plans accompany descriptive text to document topography, geological observations, manorial records, architectural remains, and wild plants. The author systematically treats individual sites, reproducing archival headings, copying monuments, and compiling a geological section and map alongside notes from local informants. The result blends antiquarian description, scientific observation, and personal study into a concise, visually driven record that conveys the landscape’s material history and living character.
