1 janv. 1433 - band clog

Description:

A clog was a block of wood, a section of the trunk of a tree, and the band clog was apparently wood suitable for making door-bands. The word ‘band’ was more commonly used for iron strip-hinges, but in 1371 <i>j magno clog pro bandes pro dictis januis</i> was purchased in York (SS35/8) and in 1433 <i>vij band clogs</i> were included in a long inventory of timber items, along with soles, double posts, joists and several great oak trees, York (SS35/53). The inference in these cases may be that the bands were the cross timbers for the doors.
