Herriard Millennium Plate

2000 AD

The design on the plate depicts the traditional Herriard way of life

The Church, St.Mary’s, is the central feature with local scenes of dairy farming, sheep,(including the Black Welsh mountain flock, imported by Beatrice Jervoise around 1900), wheat and oats (exemplifying arable crops), oak and ash (for what was a thriving forestry industry) and deer (which abound on the estate) all being depicted around the edge.

The design was painted by Belinda Hodson, a local Hampshire born artist who has been resident in Herriard since 1953.
