- Pot-crooks
In old houses in this parish the pot crooks were hung in this manner. Two short pieces of timber - pieces of a tree of suitable thickness were put into the work when chimney was being built. These were put in about 7" above level of fireplace lying from front to back across chimney and about 2 1/2' to 3' apart. Another piece of sound wood was laid across these and from this the pot-crook was hung.
