“…The majority of those living in rural areas of Europe since the Neolithic period made their living through agriculture (Shennan, 2018). In contrast, the majority of people in urban centers were involved with trade, manufacturing, administration, education and religious institutions (Haslam, 2010;Fernández-Götz, 2018). With the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the mid 1700s, and rest of Europe over the subsequent century, the use of coal-fired machinery resulted in a great expansion of manufacturing and faster long-distance sea travel (Glenn, 2019;Stearns, 2020).…”

The question posed is how deep time perspectives contribute to tackling contemporary One Health challenges, improving understanding and disease mitigation. Using evidence from the field of paleopathology, it is possible to explore this question and highlight key learning points from the past to focus the minds of those making healthcare policy decisions today. In previous centuries urbanisation led to poorer health for a wide range of indicators, including life expectancy, sanitation and intestinal parasites, airway disorders such as maxillary sinusitis, metabolic diseases such as rickets, and even conditions resulting from clothing fashions such as bunions. Modern concerns regarding the quality of urban air and rivers shows we have still to incorporate these lessons. When we consider major infectious diseases affecting past societies such as bubonic plague, tuberculosis and leprosy, interaction between humans and wild mammal reservoirs was key. Wild red squirrels in Britain today remain infected by the medieval strain of leprosy that affected people 1,500 years ago. It is clear that the One Health focus on the interaction between humans, animals and their environment is important. Eradicating zoonotic infectious diseases from humans but not these reservoirs leaves the door open to their spread back to people in the future.

Landscape, territory and common rights in medieval East Yorkshire

The paper examines issues of landscape, territory and common rights, with specific reference to the multi-township, multi-manor parish of Burton Agnes in the north-east Yorkshire Wolds.Burton was a territorial unit of considerable antiquity which survived as a distinct estate until the late twelfth century when it was split between co-heiresses. This produced a complex territorial and tenurial situation, characterized in the later medieval period by ongoing conflicts over common rights between neighbouring manorial families on behalf of themselves and their various tenants. Crucially -given the lack of adequate commons governance structure -such conflicts proved not only almost impossible to resolve but also productive in documentary terms. This paper examines the far-reaching consequences of the 1199 division of the estate in two linked sets of sources: firstly, by using legal documents and estate records to examine conflicts about common rights in the parish moor in the later medieval period; and secondly and relatedly, by utilizing standing buildings, landscape and documentary sources to interrogate the built landscape as a site to articulate territorial claims (including to rights and resources in the parish moor) and the patronage thereof by local manorial families. In this sense, the paper both traces the consequences of earlier territorial arrangements and explores the range of strategies by which local manorial families might make and mark territory in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. In doing so, the paper makes the case for writing 'grounded' historical geographies of the commons which both set individual commons within their wider temporal, spatial and territorial contexts and recognize them as always entangled within the broader politics and landscape of the parish.
