Diggers

Group of Protestant agrarian socialists in 17th-century England

The Diggers were a group of religious and political dissidents in England, associated with what would later be called agrarian socialism. Gerrard Winstanley and William Everard, amongst many others, were known as True Levellers in 1649, in reference to their split from the Levellers, and later became known as Diggers because of their attempts to farm on common land. Due to this and to their beliefs, the Diggers were driven from one county after another by the authorities.
