Abstract: Abstract Extensive land remodelling took place, especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Prominent aims were to secure privacy for landowners and improve the view from their houses. The process sometimes involved the actual demolition of entire villages and occasionally their rebuilding on new sites. An associated development was the erection of long, high walls around parkland. Many landowners did lose out during the arable depression of the late nineteenth century and the two world wars of the twentieth century but were replaced by the newly moneyed. In any case country house building has since revived.
