- There were no tailors living in this parish years ago. When the people had clothes to make they brought him to the house from the town. They usually had a bundle of home made frieze and brought corduroy. They kept him in the house till he had a suit made for all the male member in the house. He sat on the kitchen table with his legs crossed and a lap board across his knees. He uses a needle, thread, thimble without an end, scissors, chalk and a tape. In olden times the people knitted socks, and stockings for all the household.
