Tales From the Green Valley

[watervole]

I came across 'Tales from the Green Valley' via another member of the English Civil War Society.  It was filmed before 'The Victorian Farm' and others in that series, but essentially, it is the first of the series.

It's set just over 20 years before the English Civil War started, and at least two of the people involved were members of the ECWS. (Stuart Peachy of Stuart Press, and Ruth Goodman the social historian)

The full series is available on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRj1YYnsBGk

It's an enjoyable watch and the picture quality is better in the later episodes.
