Description
This is the history of a very small English village from the earliest Iron age settlements to the present day. Despite there being no manor house, no impressive buildings, no landed gentry or famous people who lived here, there is a story to be told about how land owners, the tenants and workers were dependant on one another, and the surprising connections along the way. The book is based on original research, using surviving records about land and the people who lived off it. There is insight into village lifestyles through the ages, rural household possessions, animals and farming equipment, and how the countryside changed over the centuries. Other subjects covered include poverty, crime, family inter-relationships, the influence of the church, and taxation which attempted to reach all levels of society however remote the location.
