1 gen 1577 anni - upset

Descrizione:

In the guild system a man was entitled to set up in business only after completing his time as an apprentice and journeyman. In 1417, for example, a qualified girdler moving into York had <i>to pay at his first setting up of his shoppe xs</i> and various other sums to the chamber and the craft (SS120/182). In 1475 the millers would not permit <i>any estraunge man to sett up as maister</i> unless it could be shown that he was <i>able and connyng</i> in the craft. They expected a qualified person to <i>pay at his firste upsettyng 3s. 4d.</i> (SS186/182) which was rather less than the sum paid in 1464 by <i>any foreine walker </i>who was expected to <i>sett up as a maister</i>. Such a man would <i>paie at his upsett 13s. 4d. the oone haulf to the chaumbre and use of the citie, and the other haulf to the craft of the walkers </i>(SS125/207). In Beverley, in 1577, William Blenkarne, a coverlet weaver, paid 20d <i>for an upsett </i>(YRS84/13).
