The survival of three large agricultural estates on the north Hampshire-south Berkshire border during the interwar period
Historians credit the interwar period with the demise of the great agricultural estates but many survived, reduced in area and refocussed on new priorities. Three estates lying in close proximity in north Hampshire and south Berkshire had very divergent interests, but there were similarities, and significant differences, in the manner in which they survived the interwar period. One invested in a programme of renewal of houses and farm buildings, …

Why does landscape matter to us? We rarely articulate the often highly individual ways it can do so. Drawing on eight remarkable unpublished diaries, Jeremy Burchardt demonstrates that responses to landscape in modern Britain were powerfully affected by personal circumstances, especially those experienced in childhood and youth. Four major patterns are identified: 'Adherers' valued landscape for its continuity, 'Withdrawers' for the refuge it pro…

Ladybird landscapes
The interlocking relationships between agriculture, nature, science and modernity underwent fundamental, far-reaching change in mid-twentieth-century Britain. This article examines Ladybird’s iconic, bestselling but under-researched ‘What to Look For’ seasonal natural history series, focusing particularly on the illustrations by the distinguished wildlife artist Charles Tunnicliffe and their relationship to the text by the biologist Elliot Lovego…

State and Society in the English Countryside
This paper assesses the relationship between state and society in interwar rural England, focusing on the hitherto neglected role of the Rural Community Councils. The rise of statutory social provision in the early twentieth century created new challenges and opportunities for voluntarism, and the rural community movement was in part a response to this. The paper examines the early development of the movement, arguing that a crucial role was play…
Rethinking the Rural Idyll
This article examines the contribution of the rural community movement to representations of the English countryside. It argues that the movement played an important part in formulating and promoting a new understanding of the relationship between countryside and community after the First World War. Whilst nineteenth-century criticism of the isolating, anomic characteristics of urban life had often invoked idealized historical rural communities, …

Land and Nation in England
Rural Moral Reform in Nineteenth-Century England
English nineteenth-century farm workers were broadly of two kinds: agricultural labourers, hired by the day, and annually-hired farm servants living on the farmstead. Farm servants, and the annual fairs at which they were hired, are neglected subjects and this study is a welcome addition to our knowledge. Moses disputes Kussmaul's view that farm service was a declining institution in the nineteenth century. He shows that in the East Riding of Yor…
Labour and the Countryside
The Labour Party and the countryside are often assumed to be antithetical. Yet Clare Griffiths demonstrates in this impressively scholarly, deeply researched and original book that rural Britain played a more important role in Labour's history than has been recognized. Left-wing political culture between the wars owed much to narratives of dispossession (the Norman yoke, enclosure) and, conversely, to the idyll of Merrie England as an example of …
Agricultural History, Rural History, or Countryside History
This article assesses the state of modern English rural history. It identifies an ‘orthodox’ school, focused on the economic history of agriculture. This has made impressive progress in quantifying and explaining the output and productivity achievements of English farming since the ‘agricultural revolution’. Its celebratory account was, from the outset, challenged by a dissident tradition emphasizing the social costs of agricultural progress, not…

Reconstructing the Rural Community
Although rural leisure in the half-century before the First World War is an under-researched subject, its most striking features seem to have been (at least according to the existing historiography) that it was dominated by the gentry and clergy, and restricted both in scope and quantity. The robust rural popular culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries had come under increasing pressure from gentry and clerical attempts to r…
