Meanwhile…
Among the stalls…
…saddler Lucy Cushley (above) worked with a team making leather goods for the horses and set of the newly-released Matt Damon movie The Last Duel.
Lucy sez:
“I was brought in as a member of the Society of Master Saddlers after a shout went out for saddlers, so I was part of a team which worked in a warehouse on materials which appeared in the film.
“While I adore saddling, most of my income is from leather goods. I’ve been asked to make diverse items from weight lifting belts to wedding album covers to handbags.”
