A report in last week's Cornish Times about the sale of items from the Fore Street workshops of the old Liskeard firm of Ham and Huddy had farmer's wife Jean Wills reaching for the family's receipt box. There - among documents going back to before 1879 - she found several relating to Ham and Huddy including one receipt, written in 1883 in an immaculate copperplate hand, recording the receipt of one shilling for repairs to a shotgun. It was owned by the man who farmed at Trewen, Duloe, the great grandfather of her husband Arthur, the first Wills to work the land. 'I don't know what you could get for a shilling these days' she said 'but it was obviously quite a lot of money then, and we still have the gun.' The family still has the same farm too, with the sixth generation Wills now carrying on the tradition.
