Mangalitza sow, Mary Arden’s Farm

Mangalitza sow, Mary Arden's Farm

One of the two mangalitza pig sows on Mary Arden’s farm at Wilmcote. This is a Hungarian breed of pigs, very distinctive in appearance and in character.

Supposed to give a good impression of how some pigs may have looked in the Warwickshire countryside some four-hundred-odd years ago when Shakespeare’s mother or the bard himself were around.
