Common Land: The Legacy of the Oxfordshire Rising of 159
Common Land explores the legacy of the Oxfordshire Rising of 1596, a rural protest against starvation, inequality and particularly land enclosures by wealthy entrepreneurs that left many villagers homeless and destitute. Those legacies are still with us. The Tudor era was the dawn of centuries of land enclosure. Our ideas of land use, property and ownership began to take shape at this time, leaving us with a landscape of wounds and notorious trespass laws. Even now, more than 90 per cent of the land in England is off-limits to the public. The Oxfordshire Rising was a protest by the common man, but the issues it brought to light remain unresolved.
