- Reposted by Joshua Whitnall SCPPlough Monday, which falls today, always puts me in mind of my great-uncle Bill Cooper, who worked with heavy horses on Cole Ambrose's farm at Stuntney, Cambridgeshire. Here he is in the 1930s, and he continued to work with the horses until well into the 1960s.
- Reposted by Joshua Whitnall SCPI love the old countryside services. Today’s Plough Sunday service was at Larling. Prayers for the agricultural community as we start the new year. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
