More about this scene
In the late 17th century the town had an established, high-quality cheese and butter market, with buyers coming from as far as London to do business. One of the ways farmers cheated their customers was to fill only the top portion of the 14lb butter jars and leave the remainder empty. Counter-measures included an instrument rather like an overgrown cheese taster, long enough to reach the bottom of the jar and take a core sample.
