The working life of our local parishes was defined by daily labour, commerce, and movement across the landscape. From the trade weights and bag seals used by merchants to the crotal bells, harness fittings, and uniform buttons that accompanied regional transport and public service, these everyday artefacts tell the direct story of the farmers, tradesmen, and workers who sustained the local rural economy.
