Beschreibung:

In 1569 Thomas Wille [sic] of Shipley reported to Sir Thomas Danby on the state of the iron works: <i>The smithies are not repaired according to covenant for your smyths cannot work at the string hearth neyther the bellowes can lye dry for that space is no charge upon the string smithies nor the coles in the blome smithies can be kept dry</i> (BM82/15). Collinson comments on the use of ‘stringsmithy’ in 1579 (YAJ68/195).
