Gloucester cattle in Hardwicke Park

Uploader's Comments

Gloucester cattle had dwindled in number to such an extent that they were almost extinct by 1972 with just one herd remaining. Since then numbers have increased though they are still categorised as at risk. It is from this breed that traditional single and double Gloucester chess is produced.
