Edwardian Farm (2010)
S01E06 February
Episode Overview
As they reach the mid-point of their sociological experiment, Alex Langlands, Peter Ginn, and Ruth Goodman delve into a day in the life of an Edwardian farmer. Utilizing a fascinating collection of letters from the early 1900s discovered at Morwhellham, the trio uncovers the everyday realities of rural life. In February, they navigate the morning rituals—struggling into corsets, styling hair, and discussing dental care—before embarking on their daily tasks. The group manages livestock, replenishes feed supplies, tends to an injured goose, and shops locally. They also encounter a quirky traveling salesman and participate in a football match following strict Edwardian rules. The day culminates with meals and a visit to the local pub.
