Books, Manuscripts
For most of human history, we were rural folk. Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places - the church, the green, the school and the marketplace. We all share this common heritage and yet we hear so little about it. This book reveals the untold story of rural Britain, as revealed through its artefacts.
