Domestic Bygones by Jacqueline Fearn

Hasteners, idlebacks, washing bats and goffering machines all had a place in the Victorian household. The author has assembled photographs of many such bygones and provides a commentary on their place in the domestic economy.
Jacqueline Fearn taught history and wrote for the county magazine 'Bucks Life' before joining Shire Publications as commissioning Editor. Her interest in domestic bygones began when she moved into a thatched seventeenth-century house with a deep ingle fireplace, which she furnished with appropriate equipment and utensils. She has lectured on bygones and appeared on television explaining how some of them were used.
