"The Bagot is a feral parkland breed whose ancestors, it is believed, were brought back from the crusades by Richard the Lion Heart in the 12th century. They were then given to Sir Richard Bagot by King Richard II, in the 1390's as a thank-you for a good days hunting. They then remained in Bagot Park, near Blithfield in Staffordshire for over 500 years.
In 1953 the Park was flooded to form a reservoir to provide water for the city of Birmingham, and the goats were removed. A small group were saved by Lady Nancy Bagot and the well known naturalist and journalist Phil Drabble, best known for his series 'One Man and his Dog', who happened to live alongside the Park. A trio were given to the Cotswold Farm Park to found our herd in 1970 by Lady Nancy Bagot."
