He was a labourer and became a heavy drinker, but while doing casual farm work at Burley Woodhead he met a widow considerably older than himself. He believed she had money and married her to gain a home and her wealth. Following her death shortly after, relatives of her first husband demolished her cottage. If any money was hidden in the house it was removed or lost in the rubble. From the ruins Job constructed a basic shelter, described as a “huttel”, situated by Coldstone Beck at the western end of the hamlet (Robin Hole). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb33d9e1fdee391c0c8535/1631865133847-5ICMX00XK6LZD4M0T2OW/hermit_history_2.png History -
