First published in 1934, and reissued in a second edition in 1936, this volume by Thomas Hennell was intended to collect and arrange some of the relics of past generations of farmers, farmyards and traditional agricultural methods. In addition to sixteen detailed and descriptive chapters on the changing nature of the farm, the volume offers an abundance of illustrations and diagrams by the author, depicting a variety of farmyard implements and pastoral scenes from across the British Isles.
