From the Mid-Seventeenth Century to the Present

More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of the landed estate system in England since the mid-seventeenth century, this book delves into local historical sources to reveal how influential landowners shaped rural life. It highlights the adoption of existing landowner behaviors by newcomers and the detrimental impact on impoverished villagers, including the demolition of entire communities for aesthetic preferences. Additionally, it discusses the privatization of rights-of-way, which imposed economic burdens, alongside significant landscape alterations.
