Summary "Change in the Village" by George Bourne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the transformation of a rural parish, detailing the shift from a traditional peasant lifestyle to the influences of urbanization and modernity. It focuses on the struggles, customs, and character of the villagers, as seen through the author's perspective as a resident and observer over two decades. The opening of the work introduces the setting, illustrating the geography and unclear status of the parish as a village, influenced by its history and economic challenges. The author reflects on the life of the villagers, who have thus far maintained rustic characteristics despite increasing external pressures. He notes their strong connection to the land and lingering traditions, yet hints at the dramatic changes that have begun to unfold as increasing numbers of people relocate to the area for residential purposes, threatening the essence of the community and its original inhabitants' customs and way of life. The beginning sets the stage for exploring how such transformations impact not just the physical space, but the relationships and identities of those who call it home.
