David Grigg examines the origins, causes and consequences of the revolution in English agriculture, and places them in the context of 300 years of continuous and at times radical change. He describes the process of mechanization, the demise of the working animal, the effects of plant and animal breeding and the changing patterns of land use and land ownership.
