Kevin Cashen took part in that. He's a member of these forums. I watched that the other day as well. :thumbup:

I’ve read that early modern English monasteries could make crucible steel before Bessemer. I never got any details. This, or something like it, may have been their trick.

Then Henry VIII joined the reformation and started his own church. The monk’s secret methods were lost during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Oh, the ex monks might have set up as secular smiths. But Henry had an awful lot of those guys killed. Hanging the former occupants by the neck avoided escrow for the new owner.
