Somewhere around 4000 BC, people in Britain began to give up their
old hunter-gatherer way of life, instead raising livestock and
planting crops: they became farmers.This comprehensive and
informative guide covers the history of farming in Britain since
this time, when cattle were huge beasts and ploughs did little more
than scratch the ground's surface. Tools and technologies may have
changed since these primitive times, but the patterns of life on
the farm have remained much the same.From the medieval farm to the
Agricultural Revolution as enclosure transformed the landscape,
here is the story of how farming has evolved into the tractors and
mechanization we recognise today. With photographs and
illustrations this book also illuminates the life of farmworkers
and their families.What was it like being a cattle farmer or a
shepherd? What did a farmer's wife spend her day making? An
entertaining and detailed guide for anyone interested in the
history and lives of the country's farmers. Includes a list of
farms and museums to visit of historic and general interest.
