Wells ShepherdHuts has grown from a simple idea inspired by the historic English Victorianshepherd hut from which shepherds tended to their flocks of sheep. In the 1800s ashepherd’s hut would have been found in many regions of rural Britain. By the1970s due to a change in farming methods most of these huts lay abandoned. These curvedroof structures on wheels no wider than a cart width usually have the wheelsoutside of the hut body. However contemporary, those proportions work well forhome or business. The 21stCentury shepherd hut allows the hut to become a home office, spare bedroom, artstudio, writers room, shooting lodge, holiday or glamping rental, whilst still encompassingtheir notable origins. Their limits are endless. Ian Wells, founder of Wells Shepherd Huts has been mad about joinery since the age of five, when he decided this was going to be his passion in life. Ian completed his joinery training in 2002 and worked for a local joinery and carpentry company. Ian opened his own manufacturing and site joinery company but longed to specialise and to build his own Shepherd’s hut after purchasing a late 1800’s original hut.
