- Synopsis
- This is the story of a farm and of its place in a changing landscape, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Following the rhythm of the seasons, it shows generations of farmworkers carrying out their daily tasks, ploughing and sowing, harvesting and haymaking. The book traces the development of the farm from a 9th century small-holding, rented from the local lord of the manor, to a large, mechanised farm of the 21st century. Eric Thomas' evocative illustrations capture the atmosphere of a rural idyll, showing farming communities working on the land, while liftable flaps open to reveal activities inside the farm buildings. Angles Wilkes' lyrical text explains traditional crafts and customs, from repairing hedges to making cheese. A Farm Through Time is a portrait of country people, of disappearing crafts and the emergence of new technology, and of how, over time, farming has altered the landscape itself.
