1 gen 1653 anni - ceiling board

Descrizione:

The wood which was used for panelling was referred to from the fifteenth century as ‘wainscots’ and then more frequently as ‘ceiling boards’. The <i>celing burdes</i> or <i>sealing burdes</i> that Robert Hirst of Leeds described in 1499 as <i>now lieng in my laith</i> [barn] were intended for church repairs (SS53/161). Another early reference is in Ripon: in <i>c</i>.1520 John Henryson was paid <i>for making scaffaldes et sawyng seylyng bordes</i> (SS81/202). Finally, in <i>all the ceileing and partitions</i> of a house in Lythe, in 1734, the inference is that ‘ceiling’ could be used on its own to mean the panelling. In 1653, a labourer in the North Riding village of Wass was accused of stealing <i>fifteen seale-sparres</i>: they were defined by Canon Atkinson as the battens to which the ceiling boards would be attached (NRQS5/131).
