Chippenham
We learn from the "Records of Chippenham," by Fred. Hastings Goldney, Esq., Mayor of the borough 1889, that the names of the issuers of all the following tokens still exist in Chippenham, save that of Gage, which has died out. Heorman has become Hereman.The following notes as to some of the issuers are extracted from the same work: "1654. John Steevens is paid £1 5s. for six sugar-loaves weighinge 18¾ lb. at 1s. 4d. per lb., presented by the town to Coll. Popham." "John Steevens, John Webb, and others are paid £4 15s. 5d. for Gunpowder spent on the day of the corronacon of the King's Matle, Ap. 25, 1661." "Nov. 10, 1676. John Shorte, being convicted before the Bayliffe for approbious words spoken against John Stevens, one of the burgesses, and others of the fraternity, by calling them knaves and other scurilous language, it is agreed by the Bayliffe and the court that the said Shon Shorte shall be debarred," etc. "1684. Saml Elliotte is paid for work done to the towne arms 10s. 10d." "1683. John Shorte made free of the borough on payment of fee, 11s. 8d." |
