Abstract
DISPERSED SETTLEMENTS in a woodland parish of SW. Worcestershire provide a detailed example from which general lessons can be learned about the history of settlement. The case study explores such problems as the relationship between medieval settlements and their Romano-British predecessors, the changing use of land in the medieval period, and the evolution of a distinctive type of dispersed settlement, the ‘interrupted row’. The usual explanations of the contrasting nucleated and dispersed settlements of the Middle Ages are found wanting, and they are regarded instead as elements in complex regional cultures.
