From dealer's description: "MANUSCRIPT INVENTORY. WARD, Richard. A true and perfect inventory of all the goods and chattels of Richard Ward late of Beathersden in the Countie of Kent, Taylor deceased made taken and apprized the one and twentieth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred sixtie and four by us whose names are hereunto subscribed. 68 lines on a single vellum sheet; old folds, sl. browned. 72.5cm x 18.5 cm. The household inventory of a small-town tailor in seventeenth-century Kent. Ward would have lived through some of the most tumultuous times of Early Modern English history including the Civil War and the Interregnum. `The relatively modest estate of Richard Ward included the contents of five rooms - the best chamber, the chamber over the entry, the chamber over the hall, the hall, and the lodge - as well as the items on his person: 'his purse and ready money' worth 27s, and his 'wearing apparel of all sorts' worth 20s. Ward's most valuable possessions are 'twentie and two pewter platters and one fruite dish and four saucers (?) and one chamber pott and one flaggon and one dozen of pewter spoons and one bason' that are collectively worth 50s, and 'two feather beds four feather boulsters four feather pillows four blanketts one coverlett and one bedstead (?) valued at £6. The sum total of the estate is a rather meagre £18.16s.2d."|Ordered from Jarndyce, D9352, 2019-10-02, E-LIST 3 Books Pamphlets 1641-1817, item 18.
