   Surveyor
   Responsible for the parish roads, lanes and drainage ditches the most avoided post in the village. Under funded, unpaid and with a labour force of usually relief men this was the post to be avoided at all costs. Theoretically he could ask any employer for labourers 2 weeks every year but this help seldom materialized. If a major thoroughfare passed through the village and wasn't turnpiked the job could even carry financial penalties if the road was not maintained.
