Ashley Cooper, local historian, farmer, and author presents an illustrated talk describing the traditional harvests of former centuries, together with the lore of the old horsemen who did the work on the fields of Suffolk and Essex before mechanisation. Many family historians will have ‘Ag Labs’ in their ancestry. Ashley explains how very skilful and knowledgeable these people were, whilst painting a picture of rural life at the time.
Local historian, farmer and author, Ashley Cooper farms between Sudbury and Halstead, on the Suffolk-Essex border. He is the author of five local history books, about farming, countryside, and village life, including 'The Long Furrow' and ‘Our Mother Earth.’
