Abstract
Managing tithes in the late middle ages
Ben Dodds
125 - 140
Article on tithe management by monasteries in the late medieval period , which shows that in the case of at least one major tithe owner they were collected directly or sold before harvest. Management decisions were not unlike those made for manorial demesnes but with some differences related to the process of tithe collection, national and regional agricultural trends and changing methods of obtaining household grain supply.
Family farms and capitalist farms in mid nineteenth-century England
Leigh Shaw-Taylor
158 - 191
The published 1851 census contains a series of tables documenting, for every British county, the distribution of farm sizes and the employment levels for adult males. These data have hitherto largely been ignored on the grounds that they were unreliable; however the paper shows that the data are in fact reliable and can be used to document the geography of farm size and employment patterns at county level. These data in turn are used to investigate the relative importance of agrarian capitalism and family farming and their geography in England. The conclusion reached is that agrarian capitalism was more important than family farming everywhere, large-scale agrarian capitalism being dominant in the south and east of the country, and that a substantial family farm sector survived only in the far southwest and north of England by 1851.
