- In olden times people used to grow their own wheat. Then they made their own bread from it when it was ground. Flour was made locally. Some old people remember the grinding stones. Long ago they ground their wheat with them. In olden times people ate stampey and oat meal bread, they also ate potatoe cakes. They baked their bread in vellsels call bastibles. There is no information given about cakes baked in front of the fire standing against a support. There was alot of griddle cakes baked long ago. They had special bread for special occasions such as bread kneaded with water for Good Friday. The marks cut on the top of the cakes were crosses. They always had "stampey" for Good Friday, and they always had currant cake for Christmas.
