Chapter Chapter 4 in Financing the Landed Estate, 2019, pp 97-132 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter will concentrate on the social relationships within the estate particularly with those who could not be controlled through access to politics and the vote. It takes up the narrative of the tensions created by the estate’s decision to veer away from traditional customary expectations. Rural unrest was never far away, and the ownership of timber remained a contested area. The Swing Riots illustrated what might happen when abject poverty became untenable. Although there is a wide historiography on these riots, a local estate study still adds another layer to our knowledge.
