How significant was the position of agriculture in the English economy in the years 1485 – 1509? Introduction…The period 1485 – 1509 saw the significant development of non-agricultural aspects of the English economy. However the English economy was predominantly agricultural in its nature. The English economy was therefore fundamentally an agricultural economy. Agriculture was the most important part of the English economy in the years 1485 – 1509. Agriculture = farming Agrarian = farming Pastoral = farming animals Industry = making things Cereal farming = growing cereals Importance of the cloth trade. Importance of the mining industry. Importance of trade. In conclusion it is clear that the English economy was ultimately an agricultural economy. It dominated people’s lives and accounted for the Lion’s share of economic activity. Despite growth in the wool trade this too was ultimately reliant on the produce of the agricultural products of sheep rearing. Therefore we can conclude that, despite the small contribution made by mining, the English economy was wholly dependent on agriculture from 1485 -1509.
