This green and pleasant land was forged by people willing to do some terrible jobs. After Tony samples life as a shepherd boy, nettle harvester, reddleman, thresher, chaff-box boy, sedge cutter, sin eater, pole man, lead-white maker and featherie man, what could be worse?
How about the age-old job of steeplejack? 'It's not the heights I mind,' says Tony. 'It's falling on to the hard ground from them.'
