A working blacksmith's shop 16 m by 12 m, open fronted on purpose so the whole floor can be seen and walked: timber framed walls on three sides, a shop front of a shutter counter and two open bays with the cart entrance left clear beside them, and no roof over the working floor at all, only a lean-to over the fuel and stock corner. The stone hearth stands against the back wall under its hood and flue with the chimney behind it, the coals glowing and a bar heating in the fire, the great double bellows blowing into the tuyere at its side and the fire irons leaning within reach. The great anvil on its stump stands a pace off the fire between the slack tub and the stone quench trough, with the stake anvil, the hardy tools and the swage block round it. The bench run works down the left hand wall under the tool board, the file rack and the horseshoe rack, with the bench vice, the leg vice on its post, the hammer rack and the tong rack along it, and the treadle grindstone, the polishing wheel, the draw bench and the wire dies take the middle of the floor. The armourer works the right hand side at the dishing stump, the planishing stake, the riveting bench and the mail ring drum, with a helm and a breastplate up on their forms and the blade blanks, bar stock and finished goods racked behind. The shop front carries the selling counter under the dropped shutter, the ledger desk and the hanging scale, and the cobbled yard outside holds the hand carts, the water butts, the billet stacks and the charcoal behind a dwarf wall.
