I was recently trying to find out who owned a little bit of land. It was proving quite difficult. I google why this was the case and Guy Shrubsole's Blog came up. The link to that is here: https://whoownsengland.org. I wanted to know more, so I asked if Guy would like to come for a chat. I am glad I did.

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Errors. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:

A: Someone has recently commented and suggested the following: "Hey Paul, very interesting video. One thing was quite problematic for me though.... Were you aware that you talk a lot about men as farmers and land owners rather than recognising other genders that may have these roles? Would love you to reduce gendering of land owners and farmers. There is a negative impact to many by calling all farmers are men and all land owners and men. Would you reflect on that?"

My reply as follows: "Hey. First and foremost, thanks for understanding what this video was about and not assuming like many have, that I am having a go at the "Farmer". You are of course 100% right, I think when I am trying to rush things along in the filming, and edit, I tend to revert to whatever flies out of my brain. I completely agree with you, I should have worded some sentences in this video better for that reason. I will add a note to the description to acknowledge this."
