Fit for the Queen
A report from Liveryman Peter Adkins
"I was cycling in Norfolk recently and decided to visit Sandringham. I was pleased to find the lead planter the company gave to the Queen on her Diamond Jubilee in pride of place by the entrance, planted up and in full bloom."
Have you got any plumbing pictures? Remember plumbing is not just to do with water pipes. Indeed in 1365 it was decreed in our ordinances that working a clove of lead for gutters, or for roofs of houses, he shall only take one halfpenny; and for working a clove for furnaces, tappetroghes, belfreys, and conduit- pipes, one penny.
