Edge tool makers - Morris of Dunsford

The Tools and Trades History Society (TATHS)was founded in 1983 to further the knowledge and understanding of hand tools and advance the education of the general public in the history and development of hand tools and their uses and of the people and trades that used them.

The tools and equipment of historic trades are now often the only surviving evidence of what were once common everyday activities. The Society seeks to preserve these artifacts and to investigate, record and interpret the past and present performance of trades.
