Heritage Talk: Hand in Glove

Why does Yeovil have a football team called ‘The Glovers’ ; what is a gloving donkey?

Join Heritage Co-Ordinator, Joseph Lewis to chart the impact of the leather dressing and gloving industry on Yeovil and South Somerset; from a time of a cottage industry to Yeovil producing half of England’s leather production. We explore the contribution of well-known names like Clothier Giles & Co, Ewens & Johnson as well as the outlying villages, the connection to a ladies’ gloving / football team and even an appearance on BBC’s Bargain Hunt!
