Summary:
Turning the clock back over 400 years, five archaeologists and historians take on the challenge of running a farm for a year, as it was when King James I ruled the land. Each episode focuses on a month in the life of the farm, following the seasonal tasks, from harvesting and building, to birthing calves and pigs, from salting and smoking meat to sheep shearing and garment making as they travel back to a forgotten time.
