Rural Heritage Calendar

Rural Heritage Calendar Overview

The Rural Heritage corporate calendar communicates a sense of nostalgia for a time when everything moved at a slower pace with beautifully detailed paintings by artists Robin Wheeldon, Steven Binks & David Briggs. Developments in farming techniques, agricultural practice and rural traditions over the years are combined with a paragraph of interesting background information. Agricultural machinery - tractors, harvester and wagons - and animals such as horses, sheep, cows and pigs are depicted over many decades in this wonderful artistic business calendar for 2026.

January’s painting is entitled ‘On War Work’ and portrays three land girls muck spreading with a Fordson Model N, the most popular tractor of the Second World War. With the Second World War looming the British government realised there would be a need for a dramatic increase in food production. One solution was the mechanization of British farms – another was the replacement of male land workers with a women’s land army.
