Clipston countryside
Caption / Description:

Looking south across a ridge and furrow field in Clipston, Northamptonshire, England. The field is currently used for keeping ewes and their suckling lambs.

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.
