Francis Pryor (of Time Team fame) indicates that pre Roman, Roman and post Roman agriculture changed very little. The Saxons either adopted existing methods or the local population stayed and carried on for thier new landlords.
Apparently in some areas grain productrion reduced and those areas given over to animal farming.
With ref to 6th & 7th centuries does anyone have any references to confirm a purely subsitance existence? I was under the impression, along with Alanus, that tythes were common to both church and lord.
