... created equal ...

When Adam Delved and Eve Span
Who was then the Gentleman?


A phrase from a sermon by "Hedgerow Preacher" John Ball which loosely translated reads ...

When God made the first people to be gardeners, did he set an authority hierarchy over them?

William Morris' utopian view of a classless world was fuelled by an understanding of the Peasant's Revolt and the life of the martyr John Ball.
