All work and no play – the working life of Horsham folk
You wouldn’t expect to meet someone called Joan Scientist, Frederick Typewriter, or Pete Bricklayer, yet surnames such as Fletcher, Cook and Butcher seem perfectly normally. However, these are all the names of jobs that people did in the medieval period that have been adopted as surnames. Work is such a core part of many people’s lives and can be integral to a person’s identity and sense of self-worth. Yet All Work and No Play is the first time Horsham Museum & Art Gallery has held an exhibition
