The Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) promotes the scientific development of English agriculture. It was established in 1838 with the motto "Practice with Science"[1] and was known as the English Agricultural Society until it received its Royal Charter and present name from Queen Victoria in 1840.[2]
The organization's purpose was to support agricultural research, education and practice, connecting scientists and farmers.[3] The first Royal Agricultural Show was held in 1839. The Royal became an important yearly event in Victorian life. Towns competed to host the week-long national agricultural show, which was held in a different location each year. It was widely reported about by both agricultural and general newspapers.[1] From 1969 until 2009, the Royal Show was held at Stoneleigh Park, near Kenilworth, in Warwickshire.[4]
From 1840 to 2002 the organization published the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England.[5][6][7] The society presents a number of awards yearly at its annual Bledisloe Day.[8] Archives of the society are held at the Museum of English Rural Life.[9][10] Additional materials are held at Stoneleigh.[11]
