Description:
In 1639 James Mauleverer of Ingleby Arncliffe had horses named <i> Catchpowle ... Buckbraines, Silkewoorme ... Twitchbell, Pepperboxe, Sugerlippes, Honni combe and Canonball </i> (YAJ16/177). Compared with names in the Tudor period these were eccentric and they read like individual nicknames. It is likely therefore that his horse called <i> Make-shifte </i> was something of a rogue, for this was the contemporary meaning of the word.Added to timeline:
