Land, Family and Inheritance in Transition: Kibworth Harcourt 1280-1700

Dr Howell examines the later Middle Ages and the early modern era which transformed Kibworth Harcourt from a close-knit society of self-sufficient peasants to a diversified, regionally orientated society of commercial farmers, artisans and landless labourers. The book will appeal to students of social and economic history, to geographers, and in Britain to professional and amateur local historians.Howell, Cicely is the author of 'Land, Family and Inheritance in Transition: Kibworth Harcourt 1280-1700', published 1983 under ISBN 9780521246316 and ISBN 0521246318.
