Land, Family and Inheritance in Transition: Kibworth Harcourt 1280-1700

Summary: Dr Howell examines the later Middle Ages and the early modern era which transformed Kibworth Harcourt from a close-knit society of self-sufficient peasants to a diversified, regionally orientated society of commercial farmers, artisans and landless labourers. The book will appeal to students of social and economic history, to geographers, and in Britain to professional and amateur local historians.
