Tom Moore works as a farm laborer for George Thompson who owns 200 acres of land. (The average size of farms in Buckinghamshire at this time is 179 acres.) This farm is made up of several different strips of land scattered around the village. Tom helps with the plowing, sowing the seeds and harvesting the grain (wheat and oats). In the summer, especially during the harvest, he works from dawn (4-5 A. M.) to dusk (8-9 P. M.). George Thompson generally works along with Tom and three other farm workers. In addition to receiving wages, the workers eat their midday meal at the farmhouse along with the Thompson family. In winter, when there is no regular farm work, Tom does odd jobs for George Thompson and other farmers. These strips of land are disappearing fast as a result of the Enclosure Acts, which enable wealthy landowners to buy up and fence in property that families like the Moore’s once held in common. This forces some families to move to cities and Families turn to the market for resources and other needs that they were once able to provide on their own. Describe the life of Tom Moore, the impact upon him and his family, and explain how you made this connection.
