The Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB is undertaking oral histories of coppice wood workers.
As an accompaniment to this project we asked Barbara Gibson of Spoken Histories to interview traditionally wood workers at the Cranborne Chase Woodfair 2011.
In this first video learn about the historic craft of Swill Basket Making from Owen Jones.
