Pages : 250
Book Description
Excerpt from Wantage Past and Present It has been a labour of love to Miss Gibbons to gather together a mass of valuable information, and to shape it skilfully into a series of pictures of Wantage in the past and in the present. Our late revered Bishop and great historian, Bishop Stubbs, has said, a very great many persons can find in the following up of local and personal history a connection with the greater streams of social and political history that is full of direct interest. Wantage has kept in close touch with those greater streams since the days when Roman soldiers spoke Latin in her streets, when later on Danes and Saxons, and in more recent times the troops of the King and of Cromwell fought over the now peaceful Downs, amid whose folds the little Town lies hidden.

Harvesters and Harvesting 1840-1900
Author: David Hoseason Morgan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351720546
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
During the second half of the nineteenth century the enormous increase in agricultural production, unmatched by technical advance in harvesting, drew vast numbers of rural and migrant workers into the harvest that lasted from June to October. This book, first published in 1982, examines the technology, conditions and customs of the harvest and, through that, the life of the rural population of central England from the 1840s until the end of the century when hand tools finally gave way to mechanisation. The economic framework of the period in agriculture is set out and there flows a detailed analysis of hand tools and work methods in the harvest. The population of harvesters, agricultural labourers and their entire families, townspeople and the gangs of migrant workers are studied, as are the crops they harvested.
