Description:
A word which occurred in the records of Esholt ironworks. 1567-8 <i> For iren stone ... for everye lode Wyche ys 6 kettes ... and a lode and a halffe wyche ys 9 kettes wyll be a blome </i>(BAS10/246). It was evidently a measure, perhaps the container in which the ironstone was transported. I find no reference to the word in dictionaries so perhaps it was a form of ‘kit’.Added to timeline:
