The farm of Stansborough is a diverse enterprise that includes a rare breed of sheep, woven cloth and a whole lot of dedication.
Stansborough uses old looms to produce cloth. These looms are the oldest of their kind still in use in the world – they were made in the 1890s – and the fabric that they produce is a woollen cloth made from the fibres of the farm’s own flock of grey sheep. The fabric has is in demand for the film industry, following the making of the Fellowship cloaks in the Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1988.
