Photograph of haymaking at Lydiard Park, late 19th Century

Large sepia photograph on a card mount showing the lawn in front of Lydiard House with cut hay.

Lord Bolingbroke's gamekeeper, Henry Hiscock, can be seen in the foreground. The small wooden structures are probably supports over which the hay would be raked, allowing it to dry.
