  • Fuel Supply and Agriculture in Post-Medieval England
    Fuel supply and agriculture in post-medieval England fuel supply and agriculture in post-medieval england by Paul Warde and Tom Williamson Abstract Historians researching the character of fuel supplies in early modern England have largely focused on the relative contributions made by coal and the produce of managed woodland, especially with an eye to quantification. This has been to the neglect of the diversity of regional and local fuel economies, and their relationship with landscape, social structure, and infrastructural changes. This article highlights the wide range of other fuels employed, both domestically and industrially, in this period; examines the factors which shaped the character of local fuel economies, and the chronology with which these were altered and eroded by the spread of coal use; and looks briefly at the implications of this development for farming and land management. A number of economic and environmental historians have, over the years, suggested that England made the transition from an organic to a fossil-fuel economy long before the conven- tional ‘industrial revolution’ of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Nef argued in the 1930s that, by the sixteenth century, as a consequence of a serious shortage of wood caused by industrial expansion and population growth, coal was already becoming the main supplier of thermal energy in the country.1 Nef’s ideas were challenged by Coleman,2 and somewhat nuanced by Hatcher,3 but the importance of an ‘early’ transition to a coal economy – occurring before the end
