The reclamation of Exmoor revisitedrethinking the consequences of nineteenth-century landscape change /[electronic resource] :by Henry French, Leonard Baker, Ralph Fyfe. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xvii, 158 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Reassessing Reclamation under John Knight, 1818-1842 -- Chapter 3: Frederic Knight and Robert Smith, 1843-1862 -- Chapter 4: Farming on Exmoor after 1860 -- Chapter 5: Polemics and Practices -- Chapter 6: Conclusion.

In 1818 the Royal Forest of Exmoor was sold by the Crown to the Worcestershire ironfounder John Knight. Through the nineteenth century the Knight family embarked on the largest upland reclamation scheme in southern England, on the biggest remaining area of uninhabited land. Their efforts were enormously costly, and only a partial success. The story of thwarted agricultural 'improvement' was told by C.S. Orwin's 'The Reclamation of Exmoor', first published in 1929. With funding from The Leverhulme Trust, Henry French, Ralph Fyfe and Leonard Baker have undertaken a new study of the reclamation of the Royal Forest. Based on their findings, this book rewrites the reclamation of Exmoor in several ways. Henry French is Professor of Social History at the University of Exeter, UK. Leonard Baker is Research Associate at the University of Bristol, UK. Ralph Fyfe is Associate Dean and Professor of Geospatial Information at the University of Plymouth, UK.
