Hedges have to be laid true to the Yorkshire style
The Yorkshire Hedgelaying Association’s annual competition will see some of the county’s and the UK’s leading hedgelayers vying for the open class title and several more aspiring or new hedgelayers trying to make the right cuts, bends and weaves to success in the intermediate and novice classes. Their task for the day, for all competitors, is to complete seven yards of young hedge.
There are rules and standards to be adhered to in order to stand any chance of taking a much-coveted hedgelaying honour and Guy is doffs his cap in the direction of those who have proven themselves time after time. “There are so many good hedgelayers and I strive to do the best I can do. I’m somewhere in the middle. I try to put the time in to my own development by working with already experienced hedgelayers and I try to compete as much as I can. There’s also a“I took time out from my main business to go and work with Charlie Calvert and Jasper Prachek to refine my processes. They are both hedgelaying heroes of mine and are some of the best in the country.
Guy’s business Thornton Heritage Crafts now sees him hedgelaying commercially from September to early March each year and during the spring and summer he moves to another type of craftwork.“I have a mixture of work with a reasonable amount of regular work from big estates in the East Riding of Yorkshire, private gardens, private estates and landowners. The lion’s share of that is the estates work where landowners are keen to redevelop old and neglected hedges and planting new.
“I think a growing number of people are becoming disillusioned with the idea of what work should be, what they should do, and for those that have a calling to nature there’s definitely interest there. There are a whole range of countryside courses and schemes in place that are there to encourage greater participation in future.“It’s all down to the individual. There is the work there if people put the time into learning what to do and find the right courses.
