Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of English rural life during the 16th and 17th centuries, focusing specifically on the management of common lands and the disputes that arose over their use. The author examines two Cambridgeshire villages, Cottenham and Stretham, as case studies to illustrate the complex interplay of customary rights, manorial power, and economic pressures that shaped the countryside. Through an analysis of legal documents, including agreements, court decrees, and orders, the author reveals the ongoing conflicts between villagers and manorial lords over enclosure, pasture rights, and the levying of tithes. These disputes, often reaching the courts, provide a detailed picture of how the transition from traditional, collective land management to individual ownership unfolded in England, and the social and economic consequences that followed. By exploring the evolution of common rights and their eventual demise, this book offers a unique and insightful glimpse into the evolving social and economic landscape of rural England. 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.…
