We came upon this ancient hay rake next to a collapsing timber-framed barn in an old orchard. It was barely visible in the long grass, weeds and branches but the shape of a steel wheel caught my eye and I began to decipher the other parts. I say it is an old hay rake, the sort that was pulled by a horse or tractor to turn hay to dry and put it into lines prior to the baler doing its work - but I may be wrong.
