    Share Share Post
    I have no churn at home but Mrs Kearney has one. It is about 3 feet high and 2 feet in width. It is called a round about churn The sides are round but I do not no its age. The various parts of it are the round iron hooks which keep the long wooden staves together. There is a lid which prevents the milk from spilling out while it is been churned.
