Stationer: books?
Mercer: cloth
Milliner or Hatter : women's clothing and hats? Or is this a tricky question?
Tailor : men's clothing
Seamstress: a sewer who worked for a milliner or tailor?
Draper: curtains?
Fletcher: someone who made arrows (the feathers on the ends were called fletches)
Bowyer: someone who makes bows? (probably not, but since we just had fletcher, I thought I'd give it a shot)
Farrier: someone who shoed horses
Blacksmith: metalworker
Armourer: someone who made armor
Limner: a painter, esp. one who decorated manuscripts
Lawyer: the same as today, an attorney at law
Apothecary: medicine
Barber Surgeon: If you needed a tooth pulled or a broken arm set. Or a haircut or a shave.
