Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history, legal basis, and preservation of open spaces, addressing the rights of common, particularly as they relate to footpaths and common lands across England. Historically, the 'common', belonging to the 'lord of the manor', was land from which ordinary people could extract profit, whether through grazing animals, cutting wood, or extracting other natural resources. The complexities of these rights led to many legal battles in the past, as lords of the manor often attempted to enclose common land, which was successfully resisted by commoners. The author examines the ways in which commoners can protect themselves against enclosure, and how local authorities can become involved in the preservation of open spaces and footpaths. Their insights are significant for understanding how to balance the preservation of natural areas with the rights of landowners. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331301820_0
