Bakewell pioneered work in breeding of sheep and cattle for the new industrial markets of the 18th century, devised grassland irrigation and new methods for rearing livestock, manuring the land and using turnips as a main winter feed for livestock. The collection at Charnwood Museum contains a range of items and information relating to Robert Bakewell.
Bakewell's work on developing new farming methods on his farm at Dishley Grange became famous far beyond Britain
