Description

The Common Stream: Two Thousand Years of the English Village By Rowland Parker, published by Chicago Review Press in 2005. This book tells the story of Foxton village in Cambridgeshire, using a range of historical records to recreate life in the village over two millennia. Through archaeological excavations, oral tradition, and other sources, the author has built up a detailed picture of daily life, work, clothing, food, and leisure activities from the earliest human settlement to the present day. The result is a fascinating and nuanced portrait of rural England's past, revealing the complexities and continuities of village life over time.
