jan 1, 1599 - dish-call

Description:

The meaning is uncertain, since a ‘call’ was usually a coop or hutch in the kitchen, in which hens and geese could be kept. Kaner described a call as a dresser with a hutch underneath but valuations suggest the dish-call may not have been such a substantial item: 1549 <i>Item 4 hayll pottes a namery</i> [ambry] <i>and a discalle, 18d</i>, Marrick (YRS152/76); 1599 <i>Item One Coberte 6s 0d; Item One Dishecall 1s 0d</i>, Knaresborough (YRS134/63).
