Edwardian Farm

Archaeologists Alex and Peter and historian Ruth arrive at Morwhellam Quay in Devon. They examine the buildings and tools from the Edwardian period.

It's October and the Edwardian farmers branch out into new ventures like market gardening, all year round egg production and beef cattle. After acquiring a beef herd, the team bring in a bull.

It's November and, to prosper as Edwardian farmers, the team need to get to grips with the technologies of the age and use Edwardian science to set up an exciting new venture on the farm.

It's December and, as winter sets in, the team must face the challenge of earning a living in one of the hardest months of the year.

It's January and the harshest winter in living memory forces to further explore the ways in which an Edwardian farmer would look to make a living away from the farm.

It's February and the team approach the half way point in their year on the Edwardian Farm. To mark the occasion we explore one single day in a typical Edwardian Farmer's life.
