The following is extracted from the day-to-day accounts of a journeyman millwright who lived and worked in and around Lewes during the first half of the nineteenth century. This is fascinating in its way, for, although it may have seemed trivia at the time, this simple record gives us today an insight into his involvement with farmers, trades people and millwrights as well as forming many links great and small in local history.
