MERL miscellaneous note - 'Until 18th century roads in England consisted mainly of beaten tracks; suitable only for pedestrian or pack horse travel; with greater economic activity of the period canals were built and roads improved and pack horse teams suffered a major decline; however in parts of Devon and Cornwall pack horses remained in vogue for longer. Date of this saddle is unknown; probably dates from the 19th century.'
