If for some reason you've taken all leave of your senses and have decided to become an expert on the everyday lives of early modern English peasants and minor aristocrats, I can thoroughly recommend the following:
K. Wrightson & D. Levine, Poverty and Piety in an English Village: Terling, 1525-1700 (2nd. ed., Oxford, 1995. G. Nair, Highley: The Development of a Community, 1550-1850 (Oxford, 1988).
D.G. Hey, An English Rural Community: Myddle under the Tudors and Stuarts (Leicester, 1974)
M. Spufford, Contrasting Communities. English Villagers in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (Cambridge, 1974). (more general but gives context)
M. McIntosh, A Community Transformed: The Manor and Liberty of Havering, 1500-1620 (Cambridge, 1991).
Microhistory can be really, really tedious.
