We also filmed many of the farming scenes at Laxton (below), England’s only remaining village which still works the land communally in the medieval three-field system.
For a variety of reasons, the estate was not enclosed and broken into parcels of land in the 18th or early 19th century . Each farm still works strips of land distributed about the fields and the farms still cluster in the centre of the village.
