Foxley Farm is not an easy place to find. A few miles north west of Towcester, somewhere on the road from Blakesley to Pattishall, lies the tiny hamlet of Foxley. You descend from a bend in the narrow country lane, you round the corner of an old barn and there you are. A slate sign on the front of a handsome home made of Northamptonshire stone will tell you that you have reached Foxley Farm.
DJ and MC Higgott (David and Claire) brought their pedigree herd of Holstein Friesian cattle to Foxley Farm in 1988. They didn’t leave for another 27 years.
Words by James Higgott
For 18 months I photographed Foxley farm through the seasons. Claire selected images for the book. Here contains some images that didn’t make the cut.
