Sheep by kaihm

A free and fascinating talk by Richard Smout, County Archivist.

Agriculture was once the most important part of the Isle of Wight's economy and the grazing of sheep was as important part of this.

Come along and learn about sheep washes, shepherds, and the sheep themselves.

Donations welcome in aid of the Friends of Carisbrooke Church
