  • 1 Clockmakers, Milliners and Mistresses
    1 Clockmakers, Milliners and Mistresses: Women Trading in the City of London Companies 1700- 17501 Amy Louise Erickson Mary Delany wrote to her sister in 1750 that 'young men have a thousand ways of improving a little fortune, by professions and employments, if they have good friends, but young gentlewomen have no way, the fortune settled on them is all they are to expect – they are incapable of making any addition'.2 Her opinion epitomises the historical view that no woman of social standing – traditionally, social standing was designated by the title 'mistress' or 'Mrs' in its abbreviated form – would have worked for her living unless forced to do so by penury.3 The historiography of occupational training appears to reinforce this position. Studies of girls' apprenticeship in England have focused on pauper apprenticeship, where the overwhelming majority of girls, some as young as six, were set to learn the 'art and mystery' of housewifery.4 To a modern eye, training in housewifery appears to confirm the supreme importance of marriage for women and their consignment to a life of domestic drudgery at least at lower, or perhaps ordinary, social levels. The pauper apprenticeship system was based on the medieval apprenticeship system operated by urban gilds, from which it differed in key respects: in gild apprenticeships, parents paid a premium; and children were only apprenticed in their teens, for a period of seven years. The literature on these companies agrees that there were a few women members in the middle ages and through the early modern period, but they were a small proportion of the total, and they were excluded from the governance of the companies.5 London's gilds were called livery companies, and there were around eighty of them in the early modern period.

  • Two Dozen and More Silkwomen of Fifteenth-Century London
    Two Dozen and More Silkwomen of Fifteenth-Century London ANNE F. SUTTON Medieval London was the centre of the English silkwomens’ trade. Young girls came from all over England to be ‘maydens in Chepeside and Soper Lane that be prentees ... prentees which mercer wifes have’.1 The Mercery stretched east along Cheapside from St Mary le Bow to opposite the frontage of the present Mercers’ Hall and back as far as the east-west line of St Pancras Lane; it included and was divided by Soper Lane (Shopkeepers’ Lane) now under Queen Street. It was a mass of small shops, selling stations and covered markets called selds, of which one of the best known was the Crown, owned by the Mercers’ Company from 1411. There a mercer maiden might sit sewing in a window and inspire a poet soon after the accession of Edward IV: Erly in a sommeristide y sawe in london, as y wente, A gentilwoman of chepe-side workinge on a vestiment. She sette xij letters on a Rowe, And saide, if that y myght it understond, Thorough the grace of god, ye scule it knowe, This lettres xij schall save mery Englond . The twelve letters included three Rs for the three Richards who had saved England: Richard of York, Richard of Salisbury and Richard of Warwick, and another ‘R for the Rose that is frische and wol nat fade’. This was one of several poems celebrating the Yorkist victory that circulated in London in the 1460s.2 A silkwoman made items of silk, from braids, laces, ribbons to buttons, fastenings and tassels, and every thing which is still covered by the French term passementerie.

    - John Skirwith,King’s Pointsmaker,1461-(2)86; and Leatherseller of London ANNE F,SUTTON John Skirwith, citizen and leatherseller of London, was appointed serjeant pointsmaker to Edward IV (factor ligularum) on 21 June 1461: he made for the king the metal-tipped leather thongs or straps which tied one item of clothing to another, particularly those items of heavy use such as protective clothing, jacks, bn'gandines and parts of plate armour. On the tensile strength of his points the king's security, and occasionally his modesty, might depend. Skirwith's trade of leatherseller suggests that his main activity was the making of leather points, but his career shows that he also dealt with other types of points — made of silk and linen cords and n'bbons — and with a wide variety of other goods.‘ He thrived and became more than an artisan, trading as a merchant. Although there is no record of his reappointment as king's pointsmaker under Richard III, there is also no reason to assume he did not continue to hold the office during this reign — he cenainly pontinued to supply the royal great wardrobe with points. Richard HI, and Edward IV, were both among the 'desperate' debtors of Skirwith when he died.2 Skirwith may therefore reasonably be assigned the distinction of supplying the points for Edward IV's armour on the 1475 expedition to France and Richard III's amour at the battle of Boswonh.’ References to Skirwith's early career have proved elusive;‘ he must have been a well-established master of his craft by 1461 to achieve the rank of king's serjeant pointsmaker within a few months of the new reign;s he was probably in the region of thirty-five to forty years old at this time.

  • LONDON MERCERSFROM Suffolkc. 1200 to 1570
    162 LONDON MERCERS FROM SUFFOLK c. 1200 to 1570: BENEFACTORS,PIRATES AND MERCHANT ADVENTURERS (PARTII) by ANNE F. SUTTON IT WAS INDUBITABLY the cloth industry that paid for most Suffolk-born London apprentices directly or indirectly. By 1200 Bury and Sudbury were well known cloth producers, although not in the top rank. Places like Lavenham had significant numbers of cloth workers by 1327, and the hundreds of Babergh and Cosford formed a district which specialised in cloth, with other centres at Clare and Hadleigh. Cloth was nevertheless still a by-industry with its participants maintaining agricultural interests —as the worsted masters still did in sixteenth- century Norfolk. After the Black Death the Suffolk industry became exceptionally dynamic with a fifth of its male inhabitants involved (not counting the high involvement of women in this labour-intensive industry), a dominant position being enjoyed by Bury.' The Bury origin of both William de Bury and John Church may be one illustration of this dominance (see part I). But it was not only clothmaking families which had the urge to improve their children's prospects. The growing yeoman class took a keen interest in commercial enterprises, and peasant farmers also had ambitions. There is the example of Robert Parman, a hard-working farmer who moved to Chevington in the 1430s to lease from the abbot of Bury St Edmunds. By the end of his life (in 1475) he had an income of about £20 a year, and he had managed to educate one son so that he could go to Cambridge and become a churchman, while the other sons and daughters stayed on the land.

  • The London Fullers and Shearmen, and Their Merger to Become the Clothworkers’ Company John Oldland
    Textile History, 39 (2), 172–192, November 2008 The London Fullers and Shearmen, and their Merger to Become the Clothworkers’ Company John Oldland There was a large and rapidly expanding cloth finishing industry in London in the late fifteenth and the first half of the sixteenth century. London merchants brought pro- vincial cloth to the City, some of which was finished prior to export, and some was finished for the City’s expanding clothing industry. The success of the London Fullers and Shearmen was reflected in their merger to form the Clothworkers’ Company in 1528, and their acceptance ten years later as the last and twelfth merchant company in the City. The paper traces both the economic progress of the company and some of its principal members, and the difficulties that the Fullers and Shearmen faced as they decided to merge, and then to become accepted as one of the leading companies in the City. Introduction On 7 January 1528 the king approved the amalgamation of the London Fullers and Shearmen to form the Clothworkers’ Company, receiving its sealed charter on 18 January.1 This probably came as a surprise to the City aldermen who had rejected the merger of the two crafts only 18 months before.2 The court of aldermen slowly set about the process of reviewing the royal charter to ensure that it did not contravene civic regulations, demanding to see the two companies’ ordinances, and only grudgingly agreed to accept apprentices under the new company’s name, in April 1529, 15 months later.3 It took a further two and a half years to obtain approval to a set of ordinances for the new company from the chancellor, Sir Thomas More, the high treasurer, the Duke of Norfolk, and the chief justice of the common bench, Robert Norwich.4 The motivation for the merger must have been to create a more powerful, wealthier company that could more effectively represent cloth fi nishing interests in the City.
