Have pm'd you re copy of pattern but not had a reply. Did you get my email? Cheers for now.

Thanks Colin.

Does anyone please have a pattern and making instructions (or can you point me in the right direction) for a padded jack suitable for wearing under a mail shirt? Many thanks

PMs supposedly from Living History It is only I click on them do I realise they are spam.

Know what you mean. I found one Joel Filliol (Canada) but unfortunately - no direct link. Think I may give up soon.

Sorry to bother you, but I have had a few posts now, purporting to come from Living History" only to find that these posts are trying to either sell me something or trying to grt mr tp "Earn uo to $300.00 an hour". Don't know if ther ate from one of our members, or if someone hsd opened an account j...

Thanks for this. Trying to trace them at present as another line of enquiry.

Obviously you'll have looked into this but surely the local history lot would have sought this out a long time ago? Its just the sort of research local worthies will have been doing since the end of the 19th cent. Absolutely Mark, but they have come up empty handed too. It is so frustrating as sure...

The Calendar tells you the roll and membrane within that roll on which the charter is written. You should be able to view it at the PRO, its in the C53 series. Assuming you have a readers ticket, it should be relatively easy to arrange access. What difficulties were you experiencing in gaining acce...

Also might be worth looking at the previous entries as often they give a list of such Charters in the royal rolls. I did not find much in the Patent Rolls for Kelvedon when I looked but I admit to using a search function so it may be there. Many of the collections are scanned so not always best for...

What are you trying to achive, the wording of the charter or the location of the original charter? The wording of the charters is fairly standard and the charter rolls will only contain the salient points of the charter. The location of the original charter, assuming it still exists, would be a muc...

Thanks for this Merlon. I have already tried the Charter Rolls which gives SOME info but they are unable to tell me where the Charter is )or even if it exists. I seem to be going around in circles. It is SOO frustrating.

I am searching (in vain up to now), for a copy of two Royal Charters granted to Kelvedon in 1312, enabling the holding of a Market and a Fair. I have tried the National Archives, SEAX, Essex County Records and am running out of ideas. Can anyone, better at research tha I (which is probably most peop...

Thanks again. Got one at last. Cheers!

Many thanks. Do you have a link please?

Can anyone please point me in the right direction foa a reasonably priced bollock dagger please? Many thanks

Hiya EA. Thanks for the info, I have now joined The SRA but need a copy of their insurance to show the venue I am shooting at at the weekend. I have left a message but don't know when they will get back to me. Do you have a copy please? Also your RA was GREAT. Many thanks My group uses insurance cov...

Thanks for this and YES PLEASE I would really like your risk assessment form. Cheers.

Still looking araound to get insurance to let the public "have a go" at archery at a few events spread over the year. The insurance company is looking for a risk assessment. Does anyone out there have one I could copy please? Thanks (hopefully).

Look more like a higgler to me. Christabel, The most famous pedlar of the period is perhaps the fictional Autolycus from Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale in Act IV Scene IV he enters stage thus: Enter AUTOLYCUS, singing AUTOLYCUS Lawn as white as driven snow; Cyprus black as e'er was crow; Gloves as ...

leather, treen or ceramic. Horn too but identifying examples a bit more difficult. Something robust and cheap though, the former usually rules out ceramic. The leather can be a costrel/bombard etc but don't forget the humble skin, perfectly good. Been toying with the idea of a goat skin, but not su...

Thanks as ever evryone. I do use a leather costrel at present which I made myself, but am looking for someting larger. Looks like the large pot and cloth solution will work well. Pot Jug with cloth or leather cover is another alternative. If it is partially glazed on the outside then you can dampen ...

[Thanks for this Sophia. I do have a number of Tudor receipt books but am struggling to find mention of beetroots. I have jus discovered Stuart Paechey and the HMA (what a useful resource).

At present I store either ale of ginger, small beer or limonade in a two-tone (Victorian) eartern ware pot but keep it covered with a cotton clout. I KNOW this is not authentic for Tudor times, so does anyone know what a common man would use to keep his liquid refreshment (in bulk) in while working ...

Thanks BS. I was under the impression that nothing would go to waste, so if folk were eating beetrrot leaves, would thay not also have eaten the roots? Hope someone out there knows.
