Chapter Chapter 3 in Financing the Landed Estate, 2019, pp 61-95 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The English system of farming was based on the relationship between landowner and tenant farmer and was one in which the risks of farming were shared. This chapter will investigate how this materialised in terms of the accrual of rental arrears, the relief of tenant distress and repairs and improvements such as drainage. It will examine how the estate dealt with tenants who absconded using the law to make an example of appropriate culprits. Using the extensive correspondence between Anglesey and his agent, it creates a detailed overview of the working relationships within the estate and surveys how financial decisions were important in weathering the fragile economic climate of the early nineteenth century.
