The English word "trug" comes actually from an Anglo-Saxon word "trog" which meant "boat shaped". Trugs have been made in Sussex, England since Anglo-Saxon times and were redesigned by one Thomas Smith in the village of herstmonceux, Sussex back in 1829. He made Trugs famous by selling some to Queen Victoria on the first day of the Great Exchibition in Hyde Park, London in 1851 and was awarded the Roayl Warrant. The original "trog" were round in shape (like the coracle) and hewn from solid timber to make a measuring recepticle. The traditionalTrug today is made from Sweet Cehstnut and Cricket Bat Willow woods.
