    3. Dear Listers, I posted the following a couple of months ago but did not get any interest. I would be grateful if anyone could solve this puzzle for me. I discovered the following clearly written on the Record Office Card Index SMITH, Widow Whippingham Parish For (Shide) Mill & ground 2/4d For a pock called Chipperwell 8d I understand that Ship Money was a tax for warships, but have been unable to discover the meaning of 'pock'? If anyone could tell me the meaning of 'pock' I would be grateful. Thank you, Evelyn
