about

A song from the ‘English’ Civil War of 1642-1649. The Diggers were a radical group who in 1649 occupied and began cultivating common land at St George’s Hill, Surrey and other places. Their manifesto (A Declaration from the Poor Oppressed People of England) demanded that all common land be returned to the people, it having originally been stolen from them. The song is said to have been composed by the Digger theoretician and activist Gerard Winstanley. Ironically, today St George’s Hill is a gated community, and therefore most probably occupied by ‘oppressing lords of manors, exacting landlords and tithe-takers’.
