i need your help! i have no idea how to look this sort of thing up but i need to know.

what are trades/crafts from middle ages? i have the easy stuff such as baker, blacksmith, candlestick maker... but i need more! be as specific as you can (or want)! what would a town need to survive?

any help you can give would be amazing ♥

shoemaker, um the tavern owner since alcohol was more often drank instead of water since it was of such poor quality.

tailor, um, wow I didn't think this would be that hard. I'll keep thinking.

Thatchers, tanners...people who dye cloth. I'm going to look through my links...I actually have a site with a list. I was using it for an old story.
