The Timeline of Britain. Posted by CA. May 24, I hope that when you have finished reading this your reaction will have changed. By Phyllis Jackson As a chiropodist, I spent half a century looking at feet. During this time, I gradually came to realise that pain was more frequently caused not so much by wearing unsuitable footwear as by anomalies in the bone structure. Practising as I did for a quarter of a century in Herefordshire and another long period in a remote part of the Cotswolds, I was able to observe the degree to which in bygone days, repeated inter-marriage caused by the isolation of these rural areas, had turned these slight deformities into a recognisably typical and strongly hereditary shape of foot. This prevails not just in the direct family line but could be perceived in a wider circle of cousins twice removed. When sometimes I was able to look at babies feet before they were put into shoes, it was interesting to see the toe formations that would develop the same family peculiarity.
