Borrow it. Don't buy it.
Why own a tile cutter you'll use twice? Members borrow from a shelf of decent tools, a week at a time, for one small fee a year.

The hardware shop isn't going anywhere. Same stock, same advice, and you can still buy six screws instead of a box of two hundred.

Sold loose, by weight. Take ten or take a pound.
While you wait. Door, padlock and window keys, and most of the old ones too.
Latches, hinges and sash fittings that suit Wenford's older houses, and the conservation officer.
Heritage colours mixed to order. Brushes that outlast the job.
Paraffin, kindling, twine and seed potatoes in season.
Free. Usually right.
Workshops, repair café slots and tool library membership, all in one place. Pay at the counter or on the night.
Park on Market Square, two minutes' walk. Step-free entrance through the side gate; ring the bell and someone will come.
