The principal sources are Thomas Tusser, an unsuccessful East Anglian tenant farmer, who wrote 500 Points of Good Husbandry (1580); Henry Best, a substantial Yorkshire farmer, who wrote a book of instructions for his sons (1640-41); Robert Loder, a substantial Berkshire farmer, who kept detailed account books analysing his expenditure (1612-20) and Mr. Bulkley, another substantial farmer from Anglesey, who kept a detailed diary (1631-1636).
