Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay

Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay is a vivid portrait of the rural past of Blaxhall, a remote Suffolk village, in the time before mechanization changed the entire nature of farming, the landscape and rural life for good. In the 1950s, George Ewart Evans sought out those who could recall the nineteenth-century customs, crafts, dialects, tools, smugglers` tales and rural beliefs which had endured from the time of Chaucer, and created this fascinating picture of a now vanished world.
