Testing, testing: The Great Ejection in Leics

No sooner were we celebrating a breakthrough in showing a link in Bucks, than we’ve got the disappointment of not finding a link in Leics. Worse, it really looks like we’ve got a clearly defined sweep of champion open field landscape (in the east, south and south west of the county) and a radically different, classic wood-pasture landscape (in the north west of the county – Leicester and Charnwood Forests.)

For some tentative ideas about what’s happening here, take a look at the conclusions page.

Here’s a link to a map of the Great Ejection in Leics & Rutland where you can see the data laid out across the different landscapes. “C Events” are ejections recorded in Calamy – the dataset I’ve used.
