Edgar Wymer was the last person in Hevingham to make birch brooms. With a lively Norfolk accent, he reminisces as he demonstrates the method of splitting a birch for binding before he gathers a handful of birch twigs and tightly binds them with the strip of bark. He trims the tops to length and finally inserts a slender branch into the bundle of twigs as a handle - this makes the tied bundle even tighter, and adds strength to the broom.
