jan 1, 1567 - cotte

Description:

Possibly an unusual spelling of ‘cut’, a word found in the records of Esholt ironworks in contexts where the meaning is not always obvious. 1567-8 <i>to the blomer and for helpyng to cotte in the stryng harthe 14d</i>. It is more explicit in an agreement with the colliers: 1567-8 <i>to cotte asse myche of the sayd ockes and saplynges as shalbe aponted to be coled</i> (BAS10/245,247).
