The Nottingham Uni site detailing old weights and measures is excellent. Does anyone know of anywhere that documents 16/17th century household goods and tools. I have a number of inventories and I need a few clues for some of the items. A Weather report from the sunny south east of Ireland for Brett...guess what...it's raining and seems like it's been going on for the last 40 days (not continuously I hasten to add) even though they don't know about St. Swithun over here.
