Archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn, joined by domestic historian Ruth Goodman, spend a year working a farm at Morwellham Quay in Devon as it would have operated in the early 1900s. They plant and harvest by hand, keep pigs and sheep, work the local lime kilns and copper mine, and take on the seasonal trades that kept an Edwardian farming community running, from cider-making to lace production. Goodman moves through the farmhouse itself, cooking on a period range, laundering with Edwardian methods, and dressing the part in corsets and boots that were standard for the era. The series follows the calendar month by month, using the changing tasks to show how new technology, from steam engines to early telephones, was reaching rural England without replacing the physical labor underneath it. Building on the same team's earlier Victorian Farm, this outing leans into the period's mechanization and its limits, with the trio's hands-on failures, like a stubborn kiln fire, left in rather than edited out.
