John Bentley will introduce his book 'Hill Farming in the North of England' which was published in November 2023. As the title suggests, the book is a photographic study of hill farming country, looking at farming through the seasons, including shows, sales (eg. Tan Hill Show, Hawes Mart), the landscape and the work of many individual farmers, most of whom are located in the Dales and just beyond (eg. Cumbria). Many of the faces seen in the book will be familiar to local people. The book has been selling well and has been reviewed in publications as wide as The Yorkshire Post and Farmers Guardian
Refreshments will be served after the talk.
