10: Corruption
Idyllic country cottages, with roses round the door ... rosy-cheeked children, plump women in aprons and sun-tanned men, fresh from the fields ... The villages of the last century may have lived up to this cherished ideal, but a 20th century of change has left its mark on rural England. What effect has increasing urbanisation and mechanised agriculture had on life in isolated villages, and who are the ' new ' villagers?
Andy Price visits Sussex, the Cotswolds and Northumberland to examine the new way of life in rural villages.
