This is a wonderful article that really reveals the hidden history of the countryside. For my PhD I was interested in the role of paternalism on farming communities/tenant farmers, and the loss of this in the 18th century (looking at Robert Bloomfield). So, long story short, this was really up my alley so thanks for writing it!

Thank you.

There's so much of our shared history that is not lost, but almost completely forgotten outside of academia.

Would love to read your PhD if you have an electronic copy!
