Elin made me an absolutely beautiful map showing Webber’s Farm, for Inheritance of Shadows and Taking Stock. I am so, so pleased with it, it’s beautiful! Thank you, Elin, you are wonderful and talented and amazing! It’s such a beautiful, beautiful representation that has captured it all perfectly.
You can see the farmhouse, with the barns arranged around the yard, the duck-pond, the animals…the curve in the lane and the animals in the fields. To the north-east of the farmhouse, you can see Rob and Laurie’s standing stone in the field next to the little pond, that Laurie and Phil go and sit by in Taking Stock.
For more information about farming in the UK in the 19th century, have a look at Country File’s Guide to the Farming Year and The Sheep Farming Year from the National Sheep Association.
There’s also a couple of really cool YouTube videos about sheep shearing that I’ve got on my channel.
