jan 1, 1475 - bread-seller

Description:

In York, in the fifteenth century, those who sold bread were apparently distinct from bakers since members of both occupations paid fines in 1475-6 for having inaccurate weights. <i>De Thoma Rawson baker pro defectu ponderis; De uxore Johannis Sharpe ... bredeseller pro defectu ponderis</i> (SS192/144). A by-name provides an earlier reference: 1463 <i>De Agnete Bredeseller pro stallagio suo hoc anno viijd</i>, York (SS192/105).
