Bodgers
From Lacey Green History
The bodgers made legs and spindles for backs of Windsor Chairs for which High Wycombe became a famous centre - the chairs mostly being marketed through Windsor.
The local bodgers worked in Hampden Woods, after the Parish Woodlands in Loosley Row, Lacey Green and Speen had been felled. A very few small pockets of trees still survived but they were privately owned.
In his book Children in a Bodger's World, Mosh Saunders describes the bodgers work in Hampden Woods in detail.
