Millers, Medieval Tradesmen
The miller pours the grain brought to him between the millstones and grinds it, and does not withhold the bran; he also pounds stockfish and crushes herbs. A miller usually refers to a person who operates a mill, a machine to grind a cereal crop to make flour. Milling is among the oldest of human occupations. Milling existed in hunter gatherer communities, and later millers were important to the development of agriculture
