Herefordshire Farming Through Time by Katherine Lack
£15.00
Social historian Katherine Lack traces the history of farming in the county known for Hereford Cattle, hops and cider apples. Lack covers a vast span of time from traces left behind by prehistoric farmers in the valleys of the Severn and Wye, to the arrival of railways in the nineteenth century.
Using original research, including wills and inventories from the fifteenth to nineteenth century, this richly illustrated book reveals fascinating details about the daily life and work of individual farmers, and broader patterns in farming and society, in Herefordshire and beyond.
