Eric H. Ash. The Draining of the Fens
The draining of the Fens retains a fascination for British historians, not because of the interest of the landscapes it produced, but because of the legal, political, and logistical problems that drainage encountered. Drainage was politically charged. In The Draining of the Fens, Eric H. Ash writes, “Currents of early modern England’s political, social, economic and environmental history all intersect within the Great Level,” a region of the Fens…
Wrightsonian Incorporation’ and the Public Rhetoric of Mid‐Tudor England
This article introduces the idea of ‘Wrightsonian incorporation’ in the later sixteenth century to a wider audience. A number of scholars have taken Wrightson's original idea, that village society split in the later sixteenth century as the ‘yeomen’ were incorporated into the state as officeholders, and elaborated upon it, particularly using it to explain why a late medieval tradition of rebellion should have ended in 1549. A number of reasons ar…

Rural Economies Under Stress - 1 - ‘A world so altered’
Poor Relief in England, 1350–1600
A Commonwealth of the People
It is hard to know quite what to make of this book. As the title hints, it does not lack ambition. The description with which the book opens suggests that David Rollison’s aim is to explain why there are at least a billion English speakers in the world today. He sees the great expansion of the English people across the globe as arising in these years. (This does seem to overlook the Scots’ contribution to British expansion abroad, but no matter.)…
The Masters of Requests and the Small Change of Jacobean Patronage
THE aim of this paper is to shift attention away from the historian's concentration on the grant of valuable, often politically significant patronage, to the small change of patronage. There has been much distinguished recent work on the exercise of patronage in the later sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, often with a concentration on how patronage was sought and granted, on how suitors for reward identified and used allies at court and …
The Pilgrims' complaint
Unsettled
This is a problematic book about a very difficult and problematic subject. Marginal peoples pose great difficulties for historians. Obviously, the itinerant and mobile poor of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England kept no records of their own. When we see them, they are in the records of courts and local authorities, often being punished for their marginality; or they were the subject of social panics, not least when it was claimed that rogu…
Famine as agricultural catastrophe
This article argues that historians have paid insufficient attention to the agrarian roots of early modern English famines. While not dismissing the insights arising from entitlements theory, the article takes issue with recent writings that have explained the famine of 1622-3 in north-west England as an entitlements crisis. It offers new empirical evidence from an estate in east Lancashire to demonstrate the scale of the crisis in the early 1620…

Political Culture in Late Medieval Britain
On the Parish? The Micro-Politics of Poor Relief in Rural England, c.1550-1750
THIS is a bold and stimulating book of enduring importance, based on protracted labours in the archives. It is a very notable achievement. Readers though should be careful to read it for what it professes to be rather than what it might seem to be. It is not a history of the Old Poor Law in the extended seventeenth century: rather it is a ‘study of the negotiations which took place over the allocation of poor relief’, something much smaller and l…

A Lost Source for the Rising of 1536 in north-west England
This paper prints with commentary extracts from a number of previously unknown documents concerning the rising of 1536 in north-west England. They are contained a late seventeenth-century treatise on tenant right (the form of customary tenancy prevalent in parts of northern England) attributed to Thomas Denton (1637–98). There are indications that this text borrows from an earlier lost treatise, possibly by William Lord Howard of Naworth, and it …
English individualism refuted-and reasserted
Earls Colne first came to the notice of historians through Macfarlane's study of its seventeenth-century vicar, Ralph Josselin, and then Macfarlane's use of evidence from the village in his The origins of English individualism (1978). This article presents preliminary results drawn from a computer-based reconstruction of the copyhold land market, 1546-1750, to contest Macfarlane's reading of the family-land bond in the manor. The familial possess…
Petitioning as popular politics in early sixteenth-century England
This article offers the thesis that petitioning by collective groups, whether occupational, regionally constituted, or simply the body of people called the commons, was an important form of political communication in the early sixteenth century which, although poorly documented and consequently overlooked by historians, allows us an entry into the world of popular politics. The article offers illustrations of the way in which petitions were emplo…
The Jacobean Union
Agrarian Agitation in Mid-Sixteenth-Century Norfolk
Much recent work has confirmed Norfolk's reputation as one of the earliest areas of England to adopt the practices of agrarian capitalism. As a response to the high levels of market orientation achieved there, relations between gentry and tenants, and latterly farmers and labourers, were coloured by a degree of hostility and violence rarely encountered elsewhere. In this article is printed an elaborate petition, which may confidently be dated to …
The Pilgrimage of Grace and the Politics of the 1530s
This is the first full account of the Pilgrimage of Grace since 1915. In the autumn and winter of 1536, Henry VIII faced risings first in Lincolnshire, then throughout northern England. These rebellions posed the greatest threat of any encountered by a Tudor monarch. The Pilgrimage of Grace has traditionally been assumed to have been a spontaneous protest against the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but this lively and intriguing study reveals the…
The land market of a Pennine manor
The quantitative study of English land markets in the three centuries after the close of the middle ages is still in its infancy. The medievalists, exploiting the conveyances of customary tenants recorded in manorial court rolls, have shown how issues such as the devolution of land within families, the frequency with which land was sold and the behaviour of the land market at moments of demographic or economic stress can be addressed by the analy…
Tenure and the land market in early modern England
B renner's purpose in his original article in Past and Present was to explain the various routes and speeds by which different European regions developed capitalist forms of agricultural organization.2 In doing so, he argued for the centrality of the 'agrarian class structure', that is the balance of class relationships within the countryside, in dictating developments. This article will not attempt to discuss the whole model but will offer a cri…

Faction, Feud and Reconciliation amongst the Northern English Nobility, 1525–1569
Between 1525 and at least the early 1560s the nobility of the north of England was riven by disputes and personal rivalries. These are described for the first time. It is suggested that much of the ultimate responsibility for these frictions rests with the crown for its policy of shifting the wardenship of the western marches between the lords Dacres and the earls of Cumberland, and, after 1537, employing Sir Thomas Wharton (later lord Wharton) a…
The origins of the dissolution of the monasteries
The dissolution of the monasteries is one of the most familiar incidents in Tudor history. The genesis of the dissolution is however ill-documented. Here it is traced back to the suppressions of smaller houses authorized in 1528. It is shown how a partial dissolution could be construed as a desirable and necessary reform without challenging either the basis of monasticism or the doctrine of purgatory. A previously unnoticed petition is published …

Place and Public Finance
READING over Elton's work afresh now, sadly, there will be no more, prompts a series of reflections. It is a great body of writing both in quality and quantity: but it is extremely narrow. Elton wrote about a remarkably short time range to which he repeatedly returned. He had little patience with Wolsey, no great interest in the history of the 1540s or 1550s and his excursion into the history of Elizabeth's earlier parliaments was not one which e…
