@workingclasshistory there’s a couple of great songs about the Diggers too. Lots of people will know Billy Bragg’s “The world turned upside down” https://youtu.be/SWRpl2S9iwk but I also really love Chumbawamba’s (yes, that Chumbawamba) rendition of “The Diggers Song” which is an original from the 1600s https://youtu.be/OA4FTIz2Zrw

How beguiling to see an early #17thC #landscape through a contemporary's eyes: here a surveyor, mapping the #commons on Aldbourne Chase, Wilts., in 1608 to provide evidence for a legal dispute, recorded #cattle browsing on #wood #pasture among oaks, ?hawthorns, & even dead trees.
From Andrew Janes & Rose Mitchell's lovely book 'Maps, Their Untold Stories' (2014, Thomas Reed).
