Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show the relationship between economic and social power, landownership and the physical environment in nineteenth-century rural England, by looking at the role of the gentry and the leading tenantry in creating the iconography of the parish church. As such, the paper shows the importance of the fieldwork tradition in historical geography, whilst at the same time illustrating the importance of this tradition to an understanding of socio-economic structures.
