A History Of Land Rights And Protest In Folk Song And Story

With Katherine Hallewell, Robin Grey and guests James Watt and Lisa Kenwright.

Three Acres And A Cow connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt with current issues like fracking, our housing crisis and food sovereignty movement via the Enclosures, English Civil War, Irish Land League and Industrial Revolution, drawing a compelling narrative through the radical people’s history of England in folk song, stories and poems.
