The Digger Movement In The Days Of The Commonwealth, As Revealed In The Writings Of Gerrard Winstanley
by Lewis H Beren
Diggers were around in the wake of the Civil War in the 17th century. Charles I had just been executed and there was a big debate going on about land ownership. Winstanley decided to start gardening on the common land and growing veg with other local men. But, for him it went beyond just growing and harvesting food. He was after something more political. In fact he was a communist before the word even existed.
