Wisbech
On 20 Nov., 1668, "the Town Balife [Richard Harrison, grocer--see No. 187) is ordered to lay oute five or ten pounds in farthings at London, having them made with the towne armes upon them." On 28 Feb., 1669, it was ordered "that the Toune Ballif and Mr. Richard Harrison dose lay oute twenty pound in halfpennys withe thes motto upon one side--'A WISBEACH HALFE PENY,' and on the other side the effiges of the towne seale with the date of the year." These townpieces are not known to exist; it is very probable that they were never struck (Boyne). |
