The Itinerary of John Leland, meticulously compiled and edited by Lucy Toulmin Smith, offers a unique glimpse into the landscape and society of England during the reign of Henry VIII. John Leland, appointed ’King’s Antiquary’ in 1533, embarked on extensive travels throughout the country, documenting its topography, architecture, and historical monuments. This volume presents Leland’s detailed observations, providing invaluable insights into the pre-Reformation landscape and the early stirrings of English Renaissance. Leland’s work, though unfinished at his death, remains a cornerstone of English local history and antiquarian study.
