What shops/trades would you find in a Medieval-like Village?

It's a reasonable sized village (a couple thousand) and the status of everyone is pretty similar, although kids are below adults. The village Priest and a GraveKeeper are head honchos. Healers also were at the top but they're banned now. Other than that most of the villagers enjoy a working class life (or similar).

Okay, then it's really more of a town (a fairly large one at that) rather than a village. Just to give you a rough idea, by around 1100 A.D., there were only about 18 towns in England with populations over 2000 people, and only six with populations greater than 4,000. Some regions of course may have had greater levels of urbanization (e.g. Italy), so you might also want to decide what sort of country this town is situated in. You should probably check out a few books on medievel town life at your local library.

For example Life In A Mediveal Village,Life In A Mediveal Castle,etc.and yes these are a real series of books that take a look about how life was lived in the Middle Ages.Also check out some costume books that might help you get an overall idea of what the average peasant would have worn back in those days.
