Abstract

Hall sites are a common feature in the Tame-Cole-Blythe-Bourne valleys in the northern part of the ‘Forest’ of Arden (Warwickshire). Often they are first recorded in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth centuries and lie either very close to or immediately adjacent to parish boundaries. A map of Holt Hall farm, Over Whitacre, from 1688, along with surviving documentary evidence, allows for a detailed exploration of how such a site might have evolved from the medieval period to the early eighteenth century. The article examines the social and economic context of the Arden pays and the evolution of landscape of the parish against the background of piecemeal enclosure and emergence of economic individualism amongst the peasantry. It then considers and evaluates the various processes which may have led to the development of the Holt Hall estate depicted in the 1688 map.
