Based in the Marches between England & Wales, we, Alison & Hugh Milton, make historic replicas of furniture, hats, leather work, textile tools, baskets, wax candles, and all manner of strange and varied objects. Hugh works in wood; not just that, he really, really loves wood. His favourite wood is ash, but he also uses oak, beech, birch, fruitwoods, elm etc. (in fact any wood). Alison works in wool and leather; she really, really loves wool. With wool she makes historical hats based on examples in museums, images, documents, archaeological reports and effigies. |
The leatherwork she makes is based on museum collections, archaeological finds, documents and images. Much of our work is for museums and historic sites, but we also make for reenactors and for the general public. We do not have a shop: our sales are either at markets and events or orders/commissions. |
