Interesting list of crafts here. Includes millwrighting and wheelwrighting - two of the key crafts looked at in our project but clearly losing importance over time...

[Politics of the English Grain Trade, 1315-1815 @PoliticsofGrain]

The talks will be followed by a roundtable discussion. Tickets are free!

[Politics of the English Grain Trade, 1315-1815 @PoliticsofGrain]

The event is being held in collaboration with the #sheffieldwheatexperiment and @unishefhistory. The three talks broadly explore 'Food, identity, and belonging', through questions over markets and morality; consumption, culture and status; and occupational identity.
