This book explores how communities, stakeholder groups and policy makers have thought about people with mental and physical impairments between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. At a time when new thinking is desperately needed our book argues that this can only be delivered through a wider, more diverse and (above all) historically informed debate about the nature and meaning of mental and physical impairment. For us, history is the key to a welfare future.

While there is an extensive historiography which explores English agriculture in the nineteenth century, there has been less attention paid to individual estates and in particular the role of the land agent within their management, administration and participation in rural community relationships.
