- How do you gauge gas mark 7 when you’re using a 17th-century bread oven? Why did people 400 years ago save up their urine to help with the laundry? Why did farmers in Britain traditionally plough with oxen and not horses? These are just some of the questions five historians and archaeologists asked themselves as they spent a whole year working a farm restored to how it would have been in the year 1620.
Tales from the Green Valley follows the five as they labour for a full agricultural year, getting to grips with period tools, skills, and technology from the age of the Stuarts, the reign of James I. Everything must be done by hand, from ploughing with a team of oxen using a replica period plough and thatching a cowshed using only authentic materials, to making their own washing liquid for laundry and harvesting the hay and wheat with scythes and sickles.

Anything Ruth is in is worth watching. These are all fabulous!
I absolutely love these with Alex, Peter and Ruth. None of the ones without them are as good!
I couldn’t stop laughing at the pig running away 😂 I love this
This is one of the best series I have ever watched! Great info here for anyone who is into survival and self reliance ....
I loved this series and the actors/ historians in it.
I'm surprised there aren't more comments on these episodes since these are popular series but I guess everyone are watching the other uploads of other channels
I thought the same thing!
I've been thinking similarly - although I suppose I've been binge watching quite a few of them and this is the first comment I'm making on one! You've changed the way I'm going to go moving forward though - I'm going to comment on every video I watch made by these guys, just to show how much I love them :)
They labeled it wrong - these aren’t Victorians. That doesn’t help
Just found it myself too…
The title is wrong
Victorian farmers? I'm glad H.G. Wells got that time machine up and running.
*-lol-*
You can not have a "shoulder of lamb" from an old ewe. That's a shoulder of mutton. And there were not many "Victorians" around in the early 17th century.
Absolutely LOVE this show
Goodness, but I wanted to sharpen his draw knife. I love this show and I not having a go, but the sound of a dull draw knife is like fingernails down a blackboard.
Amazing work had done by the team ,,,to bring us in those days ...💓
Their socks are on my mind. What material did they use to knit them? Wool from their sheep?
Love these series. Did they not have gloves during these times? My hand just hurt watching them work.
The Iberico ham gets most of its flavor from the acorns they eat off the ground under the cork oaks. Unfortunately if the cork can't be sold the farmers can't afford to maintain the pastures under the oaks.
Rain would have not stopped farmers from doing a full days work. They would have saved indoor jobs for rain days but it wouldn't have prevented them from doing anything useful around the farm!
Pigs used to be bred and raised to have at least two inches of fat on the outside. The animal fats were of more uses than the meat did.
_The thing about the fat is also explicitly mentioned in the series . . ._
I was really hoping they'd get that roof done by the end of the episode.
1620 was in the reign of the Stuarts not Queen Victoria.
_Would that be called "Stuard/tian Time" then?_
Procreation in a one or two room house must’ve called for some stealth…
No. 2 in series
These aren't Victorians. You'll want to correct the title.
You are absolutely incorrect.
@@RandomsFandom Tales From The Green Valley is set in the 1620s. The Victorian period is the 1830s to 1901. Tell me how I'm incorrect?
You’re incorrect, I was there
@@Fpl8646 you were alive in the Stuart period from 1603-1714?
@@MiFFiL he was, I can vouch for him. i also lived in that time period and his story checks out
Anyone else wonder if it wouldn’t be better just to pick up the acorns and bring them to the pigs?
_Pigs don't have to bend down. In addition, a little movement is pretty good for the quality of the porc . . ._
Im surprised they’re not using the metric system when they refer to dimensions.
This is mislabeled, it's from a different series. Same professionals, though.
Wonder if chloes keen to smash like 17th century styles
_Victorian?! Tudor would be more fitting, wouldn't it?_
I would be afraid that mice or rats would get the food up there
Not having dedicated left and right boots/shoes would drive me nuts. My feet are different sizes and my OCD requires me to put left shoe in 1st and then the right
You wouldn't have survived. And if you did you wouldn't have OCD.
@@dungeonmaster6292 True. I would've died after/during birth. Heck born 1990 and even then doctor told parents not to get attached as I likely wouldn't survive
@@derrickallen8138 Same with my son and I in 1994! Gkad we all mzde it!
This is fun but it’s from tale’s of the green valley 1600’s not Victorian
Movie the letter of too
not Victorian this is medieval farmers Victorian is 1800s this is set much earlier
You savages aren't peeling your rafter logs, gonna cost you in the long run as it will be more bug/rot prone. Better tighten up peasant.
I'm so ridiculously soft-hearted, I wouldn't be able to butcher the pig I'd nurtured. I'd swap pigs with a neighbor farmer, kill *their* pig that I wasnt fond of, and they could have mine, lol.
