   This was a great trade up to 50 years agobecause nearly every house was thatched then. Houses were thatched with rushes & straw of oats wheat or rye. For thatching with the last three the straw was 'switched' to remove the seed. - In all cases thatching material was 'drawn' in order that it would be even & firm. 'Scallops' were cut from 'sally' (willow) trees a long time before being used. When well seasoned were 'split' and 'pointed'. Thatchers were plentiful then & went from house to house staying in a house until the thatching was finished.
