Well-researched and fascinating... permit[s] us to see village life
in early modern England in action.
*SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL*
Of particular interest [in] that there have been few studies of
villages with a resident gentry family... also important because
there have been few local studies for the early sixteenth century,
due to the paucity of sources. Oestmann portrays a genuine
community among the Lestranges and their tenants, showing that it
is unwise to ignore the gentry when studying small communities... a
solid piece of work.
*ALBION*
A book which anyone with an interest in pre-18th century rural
societies ought to read.
