Rural Life 1: Image and Reality

Synopsis: Looks at three Victorian villages - Old Warden and Steppingley in Bedfordshire and Wortham in Suffolk. The Bedfordshire villages are the product of improvements made by wealthy landowners and represent increased control by landlords over tenants. Wortham had no single landowner and reveals a diversity of rural occupations in a setting of modest wealth and poverty.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
