The Celts (before the Anglo Saxons) lived in a style resembling a commune.

Bang on Margaret
- there was a good documentary in 2010 I think by a history professor and he told the story of how the Normans were crooks - they basically robbed all the Anglo- Saxon land owners, stole their lands and set up their own people with the lands! Disgraceful! So really in "Gods eyes!" no one owns the land as it was stolen anyway!
