- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)The old-fashioned beds in farmhouses were usually big wide double beds, the bed-stead or framework often made by local carpenter. On the wooden frame was placed a straw palliaose and above that one or two feather ticks. Some houses had canopy beds with curtains all round but those have disappeared in last 36 or 40 years.Every farm-house in the parish had a settle-bed in the kitchen in which the boys or young men slept. The parents' and small children slept in the principal bed-room which was closed up in day-time, and left, this room to serve as a parlour, if there was no real parlour. Some houses had a loft over one of the bed-rooms to which one entered by a ladder which was removed when the loft was not in use. This loft served as an extra bed-room if the family was large, and as a kind of store-room or lumber-room for stuff not in general use.
- Many of those are still to be seen. They were made by the local carpenter of planking about one inch thick painted dull greeny-blue inside and Venetian red outside. I saw on over 80 years old in perfect condition 36"l, 18" high, 18" wide containing a little rectangular pocket 18"w x 6" x 6" across one end, beneath this was a slender secret drawer 2" deep.
