Manx style ploughing: A conversation with Harold Leece
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2019-06-27

Manx style ploughing is unique to the Isle of Man and it is practised at ploughing matches all over the Island each year.

A key part of the Manx style competitions are the continuing of traditions and the community of people who compete and attend. Here we speak to one of the most important figures in the Manx style ploughing community who has been at the centre of the matches for many decades; Harold Leece.

This was filmed at the Charlie Caine Manx Style Ploughing Championship at Shenharra farm in January 2019, with thanks to Lennie Kerruish, Gill Caine and the Manx Style Ploughing Club.
