Securing the survival and status of the family has always been the principal concern of the English gentry. Central to that ambition has been the successful management of their landed estates. After 700 years the Le Stranges at Hunstanton are the longest surviving gentry family in Norfolk. This book presents new research into their success.
Based on oral histories and farm books, this account offers a fascinating analysis of some 300 years of hop-cultivation history in the Weald of Kent, a rural area in the South of England, and in the Borough at Southwark, London. The diverse processes of hop agriculture are examined within the wider context of events, such as the advent of the railroads and the effects of war, as are changes to the working practices and technologies used and their reception and implementation in the Weald. Also examining hop trading and dealing, this comprehensive record demonstrates the impact this rural industry had upon the lives of the people engaged in it.
