  1. Local Forges

    Share Share Post
    There are three forges in use in this parish and two others in ruins. The ancestors of the present smiths worked in these same forges. All of them are situated near a cross and near a stream.
    The roofs are made of wood and the walls of stone and mortar. The smiths shoe horses, ponies, donkeys and wheels.
    They work in the open air. The forge is like a newspaper, because all the news is heard there, and all the young men gather there in the evening to hear the latest news.
