Edwardian Farm

Archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn and historian Ruth Goodman attempt to bring Morwellham Quay in Devon back to life as it was in its Edwardian heyday. They begin with the basics, setting up home in one of the cottages.

The farmers branch out into new ventures, begin training the shire horses and take on a pair of goats.

It's November and to prosper as Edwardian farmers, Alex, Peter and Ruth 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 Alex, Peter and Ruth face the challenge of earning a living in one of the hardest months of the year. They'll have to profit from their livestock, search for part-time work and head to the coast to reap the ocean's bounty.

Archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn go down a copper mine, just a few hundred yards from their cottage, which was once the major source of Morwhellam Quay's wealth. Historian Ruth Goodman learns the art of lacemaking.

It is February and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn and historian Ruth Goodman approach the halfway point in their year on the Edwardian Farm. They explore a cache of letters written in the 1900s in a cottage at Morwhellham Quay.
