In medieval and early modern Britain, people would refer to their
local district as their 'country', a term now largely forgotten but
still used up until the First World War. Core groups of families
that remained rooted in these 'countries', often bearing
distinctive surnames still in use today, shaped local culture and
passed on their traditions. In The Grass Roots of English History,
David Hey examines the differing nature of the various local
societies that were found throughout England in these periods. The
book provides an update on the progress that has been made in
recent years in our understanding of the history of ordinary people
living in different types of local societies throughout England,
and demonstrates the value of studying the varied landscapes of
England, from towns to villages, farmsteads, fields and woods to
highways and lanes, and historic buildings from cathedrals to
cottages. With its broad coverage from the medieval period up to
the Industrial Revolution, the book shows how England's
socio-economic landscape had changed over time, employing evidence
provided by archaeology, architecture, botany, cultural studies,
linguistics and historical demography. The Grass Roots of English
History provides an up-to-date account of the present state of
knowledge about ordinary people in local societies throughout
England written by an authority in the field, and as such will be
of great value to all scholars of local and family history.
