   Cranes.
   Long ago people had no / cranes for hanging pots on the fire like they have now. They had two sticks going from one side of the chimney to the other side and an iron bar crossing on the two of them and from that a chain hung down to the fire.

   Chimneys.
   The people long ago built chimneys which could not be built by the people now. The chimneys sloped very much to the east and in this way the draught drew the smoke directly up the chimney.

   Settles.
   In all the old houses settles formed a part of the furniture. These settles had a three-fold duty. In the day it was used as a table and when meals were over it was formed into a seat. In the night it was used as a bed, The top board of the settle which formed the table was raised up and underneath this was the part which was used as a bed.
