the Thirteenth Century. = sarsq
The manufacture of leather in the
thirteenth century seems to have been
important. showing that leather jer-
kins and breeches were commonly
worn. We have 10, skynners, 40 bar
kars, 6 saddelers. cordeweners, 1877
souters (shoemakers) and 8 glovers.
The surname feuster is a trade name
denoting maker of pack saddles. ate
The commonest trades are taylour
and smyth. since one lived in almost
every village. The taylours number
407, Of whom 40 are called by the
Latin name of cissor. In addition to
261 smyths. several are specialized.
There are two arusmyths, three ioke-
smyths, three goldsmyths, five "fferours

riers}. % ,~..,.. 4. .,.,.. ~.. ,.,s,..,.,.r

Of the few cases in which the Latin
translation of a trade name has be-
come Q common surname. The
wryghts' trade, like that of the smyths,
was specialized. The arkwryght made
the great arks or chests in which the
clothes or meal were stored. and we
find a plowwryght. a wheelwryght,
two shippewryghts. eleven cartwryghts
and two glasswryghts (glaziers), who
were probably concerned with the win

The bakesters are few (ffteen), sug-
gesting that families baked their own
bread. There are twenty-six butchers
(feshewer, bocher or carnifex), whence
Labouchere. while the surname potter

Local anglers are divided on the ques-

voraciously.
