  1. Food in Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    It was the custom in the old days not to give any meal to a workman until he paid for it in work. It was usual for labourers to do two hours work before their breakfast every morning.
    People used always kill a goose for Michaelmas and St. Martin's Eve and have a good feast.
    For breakfast people used eat bread and milk long ago, for dinner, skidder and potatoes and for supper stirabout.

    St. Batt's well is situated in Poolard and is in Tom Dowling's land. There is a little wood and stream around it. People that pay visits there usually leave a penny. People with sore eyes wash them in the water. There are rushes growing around it.
