A sweeping history of the British village, both rural and urban, which makes a compelling case for why we need to protect our local communities
'A thoughtful, convincing and well-argued book . . . Jenkins moves beyond sentimentality to make his larger case for the idea of the village' Stephen Bayley, Spectator
We are a nation of villages, from the rural, picturesque hamlets of Castle Combe and Clovelly, to the tight-knit urban communities of Leeds’ terraces and Cricklewood’s backyards. Villages link us with our past and are the stuff of art, poetry, folklore and song — and for many they offer a place of community and sanctuary. And yet Britain today is one of the most centralised political systems in Europe, with decisions on local matters made by national government and local communities feeling increasingly disempowered and disconnected.
In The Village in Britain, Simon Jenkins, bestselling author and former chair of the National Trust, delves into the past, present and future of this powerful national symbol, and argues that we need to find a way of embedding the qualities of the village into our modern lives. Through a sweeping history of the village, from its rural, medieval origins to its downfall in the industrial era and then its rebirth in both urban and digital spaces, he shows us that the village offers answers to the challenges that face so many communities today.
Using examples from literature, architecture, and culture, from the rural idylls of The Archers and Akenfield, to the campaigning work of Octavia Hill and Robert Owen, we see how the concept of the village has changed over time and why it continues to be an important part of the way we live, with benefits for people of all ages and interests. We see how the future of the village has been put at risk, including the closure of local pubs and shops, but also that a steady transformation is underway, as commuters and retirees bring villages a new sense of vitality.
This is an expert and fascinating journey through the rise and fall and potential rise again of the British village.
'Jenkins is a bold, imaginative writer, brilliant at challenging old assumptions' Rory Stewart
