Throws a little more (Light!) on "Cuckold Light" Looks as though then, it is a design of light, to hang over the fire so that its light is directed to the post & pans, made of cast iron to withstand the heat. What fuels the light I wonder if this is correct? Kind Regards Roy LD Cox Family Historian Member of SA&NHS Member No. 1066 (And all That!)
