Thomas Burrough's Work Diary : Broad Chalke
*1
Notes
*1 Striping Witheys (stripping withies); his brothers William and Abner were basket-makers renting Penny Cottage as a work place. There is a withywood just across the stream at the end of Tank Lane, although the withies have been crowded out by ash and sycamore trees now.
