Only 40 years ago hundreds of English farmers decided to withhold their Tithes from the Church - and the Law fought back. A poster that sums up the feelings of the time claimed: "It's 'dearly beloved brethren' on Sunday. It's confiscation of corn stacks on Monday."
But the farmers fought with more than words. Among those who tell of the battles and why they were 'being as obstructive as we could, within the law' - are: Lady Eve Balfour, Mr and Mrs Roland Rash, Philip Butler and A.G. Mobbs
Narration written by Janet Hitchman
