Norwich History A – Z: A is for Adze – Norwich Historical Society

This simple tool has sat on the shelf in the NHS shed for years. It’s a humble tool, not used much in everyday life today. But a close look can tell us much.   An adze is similar to an ax with an arched blade at right angles to the handle, used for cutting or shaping large pieces of wood.
