Tea was first used in this district sixty or seventy years ago. Before tin or delph became common wooden vessels were used. The vessels which they drank from were called noggins. They had wooden basins and wooden spoons which are used to the present day. The cup which they left in the churn was made of wood, also. Wooden churncups are common still.

   For Hollow Eve night the women made boxty, generally dumplings but this custom is dying out. They also made boxty for "Little Christmas" night. For this night a boxty loaf was made and currants were put in it.
