First published in 1915, this book provides a historical account of the struggle for common rights in the English villages of Cottenham and Stretham. Authored by W. Cunningham, a local resident and activist, the book details the ongoing battle between commoners and landowners over access to common land and other resources. Drawing on legal documents, personal accounts, and other primary sources, the book sheds light on an important but often overlooked chapter in the history of English rural life.
