Forgotten Labour: The Wiltshire Agricultural Worker and his Environment 4500 BC – AD 1950

This pioneering study of agricultural history in Wiltshire from the point of view of the labourer, rather than that of the farmer or landowner, offers many new insights and a comprehensive view of the subject from early prehistory to the recent past. The fruit of many years’ painstaking research, Avice Wilson’s important new book follows her ground-breaking account of Wiltshire’s cheesemaking industry, Forgotten Harvest, and her history of the north Wiltshire hamlet, Cocklebury, where she grew up.
