  friends on neighbouring farms who were looking for a way to reconnect wit
 h the land and nature\, while finding a new means of supporting their farm
 s. Based in the Pendle Hill countryside\, they transform what is now often
  considered a waste product into something beautiful\, using historic\, et
 hical and sustainable methods. To find out more visit https://www.mountai

 . While some date back to the Iron Age\, many are from the medieval or pos
 t‑medieval periods and are typically made of lead or lead alloy.\n\nTo d
