Who Owns England? : How We Lost Our Land and How to Take it Back

Hailed as 'a formidable, brave and important book' by Robert Macfarlane, 'Who Owns England?' delves into the nation's most closely guarded secret. This groundbreaking work unravels the enigma of land ownership in England, exposing the centuries-old tactics employed by the elite to conceal their vast holdings.

Author Guy Shrubsole, armed with cutting-edge digital mapping and the Freedom of Information Act, embarks on a thrilling investigation. He trespasses through heavily guarded estates, decimated grouse moors, and vacant Mayfair mansions to compile the most comprehensive map of English land ownership ever made public.

From clandestine military outposts to subterranean London passageways, Shrubsole unearths startling truths about who truly governs our nation—a revelation particularly poignant in the era of Brexit. This meticulously researched exposé demonstrates how reclaiming control of land ownership is crucial to addressing myriad issues, from the housing crisis to climate change, and even safeguarding our democracy.

Part historical account, part political commentary, and part rallying cry, 'Who Owns England?' challenges readers to confront the realities of land distribution and envisions a future where our green and pleasant land is rightfully reclaimed. As Brexit purportedly returns sovereignty to the people, Shrubsole's work couldn't be more timely or essential.

Prepare to have your perceptions challenged and your eyes opened to the hidden power structures that have shaped England since the Domesday Book. It's high time we unmasked the truth about who owns England and took steps to restore our cherished countryside to its rightful stewards.
