Helen Herdwick Keyring
A cute and cuddly 9cm tall plush Herdwick Sheep keyring. Named Helen after Helen Beatrix Potter the author, who in the latter half of her life, was involved with keeping and breeding Herdwicks, even acting as president of the breed association for a time. Between 1930 and 1938 she won a number of prizes for Herdwick ewes at shows across Cumbria. Upon her death in 1943, she bequeathed fifteen farms - approximately a total sum of 4,000 acres (16 km²) - to the National Trust, and per her instructions all continue to graze Herdwick flocks today.
A donation from each sale will be given to the Herdwick Sheep Breeders Association.
