Wympole & Wratsworth From March 2012 until October 2018, Simon Damant (writing as ‘Sadeik’) wrote an occasional blog named ‘Wympole & Wratsworth’ about his experiences working on the National Trust’s Wimpole Hall estate. I write ‘occasional’ but Simon (with some ‘guest’ blogs) posted 465 listings in those six-and-a half years, covering his experiences and observations working on the farms and the grounds of Wimpole Hall. Everyday tasks were duly reported, together with an entertaining mix of events, national scything festivals, people, the passing of the seasons, rural craft competitions, Wimpole wildlife, stunning photography, and some overseas ‘adventures’. Simon even found time to become National Scything Champion! Twice. In September 2020, Simon was kind enough to hand ‘Wympole & Wratsworth’ over to ‘Wimpole Past‘ to ensure the site’s safe keeping during uncertain times. Although ‘Wympole & Wratsworth’ is somewhat archived at present, nothing has been switched off. Everything should work as normal. Comments are still encouraged and 'Wimpole Past' has added this new Archive Index to help visitors navigate around all 465 posts. The archive also holds over 3000 photographs*. Most of the later photographs can be opened as super-high-resolution images. There’s even a possibility that Simon will be posting some new blogs. Go explore!
