  1. There are three forges in this parish. The three of them are thatched. The doors are made of timber and they are hung on hinges like any ordinary door.
    The principal work that the smiths do is shoeing horses, asses, and ponies. When they are working they use many implements, namely, a hammer, a pincers, a sledge, and a knife.
    The knife is used for cleaning horses' hooves. They repair and make ploughs. They make barrow-pins.
