jan 1, 1423 - poplar
Description:
The wood of the poplar was not prized as a building material but it features occasionally in the records: 1423 <i>vj bords of popill ... for amending of the louer of the quyeneschambre</i>, Scarborough (SZ2/250). This spelling suggests that the tree may sometimes be the first element in place-names such as Popplewell, although two other possibilities are usually suggested.Added to timeline:
