- There were a few old crafts going on in the district long ago the soap and candle making got broken up but the spinning is going on all the time by the women.
First they get the wool then they oil it and card it and make it into rolls then they spin it and make it into thread theny they knit it and make it into stockings and ganzies for both men and women.
The way they used make the candles is peal rushes and put them in tallow.- Collector
