Linen

One very important industry during the 17th and 18th centuries was linen. There is an early reference to a fulling mill in the village in 1353, which may have been for scouring and beating the woven pieces of linen cloth, and if so this implies that there were already at this date a substantial number of local weavers to supply the cloth.
