Sheep and lambs in ridge and furrow field, Clipston
Description
- Title:
- Sheep and lambs in ridge and furrow field, Clipston
- Caption / Description:
-
Sheep and lambs graze in a ridge and furrow field near Clipston, in Northamptonshire, UK.
The ridged pattern of the field is a result of the ridge and furrow farming style used on shared land in medieval times. Each commoner would have their own strip of land, and would plough it with a single sided plough. By ploughing half of the strip in one direction and then the other half in the opposite direction, this gradually built the field up into large ridges.
Fields that have not been ploughed using modern methods still exhibit the ridge and furrow pattern, though it is much less pronounced than it would have been originally.
