Farming heritage

Young people have been celebrating their farming heritage as part of an arts project.

Students of Highfields School were presented with a copy of the Combine Commemorative Book after taking part in the Combine Farming Heritage East Midlands project.

The project coordinator Jane Wells, of Junction Arts, made the presentations and she was joined by the project artist Danny Callaghan and farmer Gilly Groom from Manor Farm in Dethick.
