Merry, I've just bought the DVD of the series of Michael Wood's Story of England on the village of Kibworth in Leicestershire. I have only viewed one of the DVD's as yet, from the Romans to the Black death. Of course having Merton College own the village makes a huge difference on records surviving, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Living in Aus, many of the things that folk in UK know instinctively, is new to me. Being of farming stock, I was particularly taken with the medieval strip farming method.
I'm wondering what others thought of it? Julie
