SUMMARY:The Charter of the Forest and our lost Commons Rights
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Myc Riggulsford: The Charter of the Forest and our lost Commons Rights\n\n\n\nYour electricity bill may be illegal\, and you can dig up clay\, feed pigs\, or build your own house\, according to this fast paced and fun journey through 800 years of Devon history which shows that we may have lost or forgotten rights which entitle us all to a basic and sustainable living from our countryside. And it’s all thanks to revolting Devon commoners. \n\n\n\nMagna Carta’s first part\, the Charter of Liberties agreed at Runnymede\, protected our new ruling class\, the Norman barons\, from being taxed and imprisoned in 1215.  But a second law passed two years later\, the Charter of the Forest\, returned to ordinary people in Britain rights such as keeping ponies and sheep\, or collecting firewood on Dartmoor and Exmoor which are still used by villagers today with ancient links\, but which may mean that we should all share this country’s natural wealth. \n\n\n\nBy knowing more about our lost rights\, we can protect our common assets such as ancient woodlands\, and make sure that young people have opportunities to explore alternative and more sustainable ways of living.  The fascinating knowledge we have lost includes smallholding skills such as pannage\, estovers\, agistment and other archaic practices from the days before plastic. \n\n\n\nJoin science and environment journalist Myc Riggulsford for a bit of history\, comedy\, and some radical thinking in a thought provoking debate about Devon’s past\, the 800 year old rights we have forgotten or allowed to lapse\, and how they could help our society today. \n\n\n\n\n\nMyc Riggulsford\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
