A "Badger" was not an animal but a licensed itinerant trader or peddlar - with a badge. This protected him from accusations of being a vagrant, which could have dire consequences at one time, including deportation to a home parish - not good if you're trying to sell pegs or cutlery or something.... So, its the badger's stone - a meeting place or landmark for peddlars.Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-91219251489760323012011-01-26T13:56:52.804+00:002011-01-26T13:56:52.804+00:00I found a good article here (you may already have ...I found a good article here (you may already have read it) which i thought was interesting and includes your Mr Brown. http://www.benchmarked.co.uk/walks/tripsdale/AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-28238468619546639872011-01-26T09:57:41.784+00:002011-01-26T09:57:41.784+00:00Alan - Note the traffic jam in the background and ...Alan - Note the traffic jam in the background and the fact that they're not wearing stout boots.<br />Kylie? - He should be so lucky.
