- In old times the people did not make bread from flour as they do now. The chief kind of bread was oatcake which was made from oatmeal. Another kind was made from potatoes. They were grated and the bread was made from the starch extracted. It was called boaty bread and was very hard.
The corn was ground between two stones which were called querns, many of which may be seen around the old farm-houses still to the present day. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
