Descrizione:

Nail-making has a long history in the south Pennines and the word had symbolic importance: in an undated thirteenth-century deed the Farnley Tyas smith took possession of land ‘at an annual rent of an iron nail’ (YRS39/171). The by-name or surname is on record from the thirteenth century: 1274 <i>Richard le Neyler</i> ‘gives 6d for license to dig sea-coals … for his smithy’, Hipperholme (YRS29/96); 1416 <i>Thomas Nayler, revetour</i>, York (SS96/125). In the accounts of Bolton Priory for 1377-8 different kinds of nails were purchased from Thomas <i>Nayler</i> (YRS154/536). Nail-making flourished in and around Thornhill from the 1300s into the seventeenth century: 1368 <i>John Milner, nayler, </i>Flockton (YRS102/65); 1503 <i>Richard Cuke of Emley, nayler</i> (YRS69/40); 1601 <i>Ricardus Ditche de Horbury, Nailor</i> (YRS3/203). In south Yorkshire a nail-making family called Tinker is noted from the fifteenth century: 1437-8 <i>Robert Tynker</i> of <i>Bradfeld, le nayler</i> (TWH20/23); 1540 <i>Robert Tynker ...Over Bradfeld nayler</i> (TWH20/42).
