Herefordshire Farming through Time

More about the book

Despite being home to the world-renowned Hereford breed of cattle and celebrated for its hops and cider apples, Herefordshire farming remains little studied, its story rarely told. In this book, social historian Katherine Lack traces the history of farming in the county across a vast span of time, from traces left by prehistoric farmers in the valleys of the Severn and Wye, to the arrival of the railways in the 19th century.
