Look at the pot below. Do you recognise any of the tools on it? These tools would have been bashing against iron and pewter in hot forges across Malton and Norton.

Metal workers and their assistants were kept busy repairing and shaping armour and equipment. The average soldier had 30kg of kit, which weighs as much as a fully grown goat!

What do you think felt like to walk from Malton to York in 1 day with studded sandals (caligae) on your feet carrying 1 goat’s worth of weight in gear?
