Thank you for this. My husband's ancestors were agricultural labourers in Ashill. I wonder if they were involved in this.

Ah Norfolk! Where I have just learnt a Brythonic speaking working class lasted into the twelfth century. Where the first English agricultural worker unions emerged at the turn of the twentieth century.
You poor take courage. You rich take care.
