Landholding in England

"Landholding in England" by Joseph Fisher is a late 1800s exploration of how England's land was owned and used, starting from the very first people who lived there. The book wants to take what experts knew and explain it simply for everyone. It talks about how important farming was for people to survive and get rich. It looks at two ways of owning land back then: either because people just started living there, or because they took it over in a war. The book examines the rules and habits about land ownership as time went on, referencing old writings and laws to show how people’s ideas about land changed through history.
