Bodgers - skilled itinerant wood-turners - used to be confined to the Buckinghamshire Chilterns. Working in a hut constructed over a framework of trees, they formed chair legs for Wycombe's
furniture industry using a shave horse and pole lathe, and were active until the middle of the last century.

Robert Bishop will describe the lives of these men, and their methods of working.

This is a talk run by the Buckinghamshire Family History Society on Tuesday 12th February 2019 in the Eghams Room at Bourne End Community Centre starting at 19:45 (doors open 19:30). Tea and coffee are available after the talk with time to mingle and chat.

Visitors are very welcome. Entrance is £2 for members or £4 for non-members (or why not take out an annual membership from as little as £6).
