THE FORGE AS IT STANDS TODAY SPRING 2006
Mawnan Smith Anvil Trust - the restoration of the village smithy

Introduction:
 In 1851 there were four working smithies serving nineteen farms in the parish,   but fifty years later only one remained. For over a hundred years the smithy, operated by blacksmith Billy James and followed by his son Dryden, was the   centre of village life until, on Dryden's death in 1994, the smithy doors were  closed and the building and its contents went into hibernation. This is how it stands today. The owner of the smithy and the Parish have created a project which would bring about the restoration of the premises to its former glory and make the anvil ring once more, hence the formation of the Mawnan Anvil Trust -
