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!
Tickets £8. Advance booking essential.
