How do you gauge gas mark 7 when you’re using a 17th-century bread oven? Why did people 400 years ago save up their urine to help with the laundry? Why did farmers in Britain traditionally plough with oxen and not horses? These are just some of the questions five historians and archaeologists asked themselves as they spent a whole year working a farm restored to how it would have been in the year 1620.
Tales from the Green Valley follows the five as they labour for a full agricultural year, getting to grips with period tools, skills, and technology from the age of the Stuarts, the reign of James I. Everything must be done by hand, from ploughing with a team of oxen using a replica period plough and thatching a cowshed using only authentic materials, to making their own washing liquid for laundry and harvesting the hay and wheat with scythes and sickles.

Victorian farmers? I'm glad H.G. Wells got that time machine up and running.

You can not have a "shoulder of lamb" from an old ewe. That's a shoulder of mutton. And there were not many "Victorians" around in the early 17th century.

I'm surprised there aren't more comments on these episodes since these are popular series but I guess everyone are watching the other uploads of other channels

1620 was in the reign of the Stuarts not Queen Victoria.

Love these series. Did they not have gloves during these times? My hand just hurt watching them work.

Goodness, but I wanted to sharpen his draw knife. I love this show and I not having a go, but the sound of a dull draw knife is like fingernails down a blackboard.

These aren't Victorians. You'll want to correct the title.

The Iberico ham gets most of its flavor from the acorns they eat off the ground under the cork oaks. Unfortunately if the cork can't be sold the farmers can't afford to maintain the pastures under the oaks.
