[Jacob-list] Wentworth Woodhouse; a country house

[Frederick Horak]

PBS has had a series on the English country house here in our local market and did a special on Wentworth Woodhouse.  While much of the program was on the estate and the house, part of the program dealt with the era surrounding the third Earl Fitzwilliam; the lord of the estate that gave the first written account of the name "Jacob sheep" in the wool clip of 1834.  One can understand viewing the expanse of country house and grounds, why sheep were lawn mowers.  Fred Horak
