Description

In 1610 Rowland Vaughan published his Most Approved and Long Experienced Water Workes describing his system for controlled flooding or â€˜drowningâ€ to increase the fertility of meadows on his estate in the Golden Valley, Herefordshire. Combining both historical research and field surveys, this book gives an illustrated account of Vaughanâ€s innovative project, with chapters on Vaughan himself and photographs of the remaining evidence of his work in the landscape.
