About Clarence Court
It starts in 1928, when Clarence Elliott arrived in Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire after his epic journey from Patagonia. Stowed in the ships hold was a very extraordinary cargo, a giant, 100 year old Galapagos tortoise, two pygmy deer, a number of edible frogs, some exquisite alpine flowers from the foothills of the Andes – and three Araucana hens, laying pastel-coloured eggs.
90 years later, Clarence’s three Araucana hens have yet a more enduring legacy. Sent to Cambridge University, these rare birds were crossbred to create generations of pedigree hens that to this day lay beautiful, colourful, hard-shelled eggs with the deepest golden yolks and rich, superior flavour.
