Horseshoes, ironwork and repairs at the forge. Shoe every horse in the parish and mend whatever breaks.

The forge shoes the farm horses and the tradesmen's ponies, mends ploughs, harrows and gates, and makes whatever ironwork the village needs. The work comes to the door every day and is paid for when the harvest is in. Tractors and lorries are taking the horses one farm at a time, so a smith who learns to weld and mend machines outlives one who only shoes.
