Observations:

An interesting and detailed inventory; slightly half the value lay in debts owed t the estate but he was clearly comfortably off. He had a well furnished home containing much brass and pewter, including a pewter chamber pot. Not much to illustrate his trade, only 'three payre of sheares and other small Implements and Necessaryes for the Trade of a Cloth worker....£2 1 8d'. The inventory includes one lease in Michaelchurch Escley.
3 documents in all.
