Abstract. The small and transient worsted industry in Northamptonshire has attracted little notice from textile historians. Likewise the debate on early modern rural industry and the factors involved in its location has so far taken no account of it. But the industry did exist, and an examination of its nature, progress and economic impact has a contribution to make to the national debate. Contemporary accounts and a twentieth century study by Alan Randall concentrate attention on the town of Kettering. But though this was undoubtedly the largest textile centre, evidence from hitherto neglected sources reveal a rural manufacturing district, together with a centre of raw material distribution at Northampton. The relationship between town and country remain largely inferential. In this study the products, processes and organisation of the industry are established and its scale, chronology and distribution are considered in the light of national developments in the textile industry and the rise of the consumer society. Building on the work of E L Jones, Joan Thirsk and Pat Hudson, the agricultural influence on the location of the textile district is examined, particularly in the light of the enclosure history of this county. Consideration of the influence of social structure on industrial location, already explored by Alan Rogers and Dennis Mills in Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire in the context of framework knitting, is here extended to Northamptonshire worsteds. The findings of the study are focused down from the aggregate to the individual in a number of case studies of individual villages and families to arrive at an understanding of the industry’s impact on the local economy. 2 Table of Contents.

Chapter 1 Introduction …Then Kettering a little market town in Northamptonshire, from making twenty or thirty pieces of dyed serges weekly, fell into making shalloons, rivalled the towns above mentioned [Sudbury, Farnham and Newbury] and sent to London market upwards of one thousand pieces per week.1 Writing in the early years of the eighteenth century, the author is not giving an account of mechanisation, still less the introduction of factories. This huge leap in production was the result, not of technology, but of a substantial increase in the number of people engaged in manufacturing. It is a graphic example of the expansion of production for the market, as opposed to local or household use. Such a dramatic 1 A short essay upon trade in general &c, (London, 1741). 6 expansion could not fail to have a considerable impact on the community in which it occurred. Further, such a dramatic expansion could not have occurred without a significant proportion of the population making choices or decisions which directed them towards manufacturing. That this choice may have been made between starving and providing cheap labour for newly market-aware entrepreneurs is as deserving of enquiry as other motivations. The Northamptonshire industry developed at a time when the changing character of English wool favoured the production of worsteds, of which shalloon was a type, and new consumers were attracted to various features of this range of fabrics. They were based largely on the New Draperies, introduced to East Anglia from the continent of Europe a century earlier. An illuminating document survives from 1615, comparing the economic aspects of production in Old and New Draperies.2 The writer refers to ‘ordinary sorts of wools in the old drapery, as those of North Bucks etc.’ North Buckinghamshire was not a notable area for textile production at this period (or any other) and so may be taken as an instance of production for local markets. The document demonstrates the increase in both people employed and profits accruing from worsted production – not least to the Crown in tax. It was, therefore, in the interest of the state to encourage the new manufactures on two counts: both direct income and the potential of reduced poverty by the introduction of new employment opportunities. The nature of that employment is also described in this document: the Old draperies being produced by poor workers who were paid small wages by clothiers, while the New Draperies were more likely to be the concern of independent small masters. This is quite the reverse of the situation in the West Riding of Yorkshire in the eighteenth century, where it was woollens (Old Draperies) which were produced by independent artisans and worsteds (New Draperies) which were the preserve of substantial entrepreneurs, putting out work to the poor.3 The balance may have changed with market demand, or Yorkshire may always have been different. How was the Northamptonshire industry organised? Did Northamptonshire textile workers ‘live 2 J Thirsk and J P Cooper, eds., Seventeenth century economic documents (Oxford, 1972). P Hudson, "From manor to mill: the West Riding in transition.," in Manufacture in town and country before the factory., ed. M Berg, P Hudson, and M Sonenscher (Cambridge, 1983). 3 7 poorly’, working to Kettering clothiers? Or were they ‘masters in their trade’ who lived very well on it? In the summer of 1765 the Kettering manufacturers held a meeting, reported in the Northampton Mercury, at the White Hart Inn in Kettering to discuss the prosecution of fraudulent wool winders (they were still holding meetings at the White Hart twenty years later).4 In that same summer the Northampton Mercury reported on an enclosure riot in the northwest of the county and included descriptions of two ‘wanted’ men suspected of having been involved in its organisation. One was Francis Botterell of East Haddon, a woolcomber and the other was John Fisher of West Haddon, a weaver. Their descriptions conjure up pictures of poor, undernourished labourers, confined to long hours of indoor employment: Francis Botterell ‘is about 40 years of age, about five feet eight inches high, wears his own dark strait hair and has a thin, long, sallow visage.’ John Fisher ‘is about 30 years of age, about five feet nine inches high, wears his own light-brown hair, rather curling in the neck, and has a long, thin visage and pale complexion.’5 Plate 1 shows a comber at work. The fumes from the combpot, together with the oil from the wool would have made a pretty pungent combination, and the light from the window needed the supplement of what looks like a rushlight. The oppressive atmosphere was emphasised by the calendar and hourglass, suggesting he was not the master of his own time, and the caged bird might have been his closest contact with the outdoor world – no wonder Francis Botterill’s visage was sallow). So far, we have the town of Kettering as a manufacturing centre sending goods to market in London, and manufacturers in the town coming together for the purposes of trade regulation. Then we have two, apparently poor, village textile workers. This begins to look like urban entrepreneurs organising rural outworkers. A late probate inventory of another West Haddon weaver, however, complicates the picture. This man, John Newton, died in 1774, worth over £200, with over a ton of wool in his possession.6 And his finished pieces were moreen. This is not a poor outworker, and he is not producing the Kettering staple product, shalloons. Northamptonshire textiles 4 Northampton Mercury vol46 p43 col.1: 1.12.1787, p125.

How far did the manufacturing district extend? What range of goods was being produced? Was Kettering the organising centre? What lay behind the sudden jump in production and did it continue? What effect did manufacturing have on the communities in which it took root? Twenty years before the Kettering observation, Defoe had estimated the production from Halifax at 100,000 pieces a year.7 So during the first half of the eighteenth century, Kettering may have been producing about half as many pieces as Halifax. By the end of the eighteenth century, however, Northamptonshire’s worsted industry was in steep and terminal decline. Meanwhile, Yorkshire’s had outstripped every other worsted region in the country. There have, in consequence, been many studies of the Yorkshire industry, But none of Northamptonshire’s, beyond Adrian Randall’s study of Kettering.8 7 D.Defoe, A Tour through Britain, Everyman Edition, 1928. A. Randall, The Kettering worsted industry of the eighteenth century, Northamptonshire Past and Present, 4,5, 1970/71 8 9 Plate 1. A comber at work. Northamptonshire’s increased production belongs to that protoindustrial transition from the domestic to the market economy examined by Franklin Mendels and named by him in 1972.9 It is a process that has fascinated many historians before and since, from Joan Thirsk’s study of the rural aspects of market production, to Jan de Vries’s consideration of the reallocation of household time-expenditure.10 In as far as the process involved engagement with the market and the money economy there are implications for the generation and use of capital and credit and the circulation of cash within the local community which would be likely to persist in some form even following an industrial decline. 9 F F Mendels, "Protoindustrialisation: the first phase of the industrialisation process.," Journal of Economic History 32 (1972, 1972). 10 J de Vries, "The industrial revolution and the industrious revolution," Journal of Economic History 54 (1994, 1994), J Thirsk, "Industries in the countryside," in Essays in the economic and social history of Tudor and Stuart England, in honour of R H Tawney., ed. F J Fisher (Cambridge, 1961). 10 Studies of textile manufacturing in a particular locality have generally been limited by the nature of available evidence. In her discussion of weaving as a by-employment in Lincolnshire, Thirsk writes, It is unlikely that this industry met a national demand, and since it did not compete in the export market, it does not receive attention in the public records. She goes on to estimate its regional importance from the evidence of probate inventories.11 This valuable class of records has repeatedly been relied on to plot the distribution and to characterise the nature of textile production in many areas where production undoubtedly did meet national demand – Thornes in the West Riding, Evans in East Anglia (linen), and Priestley in Norwich are examples.12 Stanley Chapman, frustrated by the decreasing incidence of inventories as the eighteenth century advanced, turned to the contents listings in the policies of the Sun Fire Insurance Company to augment the probate evidence in his studies of both Devon serge and Midland framework knitting.13 While these sources provide valuable evidence for the structure and distribution of local and regional industries by identifying many of the leading players, there remained always an invisible army of the poor whose property was too inconsequential for insurance or probate. In the first half of the nineteenth century two frame censuses offered an increase in visibility of those involved in hosiery, but there are no similar statistics for looms. The frame census data were used in two parallel investigations by Alan Rogers and Dennis Mills, to identify the extent of framework knitting in the towns and villages of Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.14 On this foundation, they used evidence from Hearth Tax returns and other sources to determine the influence of social structure as a factor in the pre-disposition of communities to the process of industrialisation. 11 Thirsk, Industries, p85 N Evans, The East Anglian linen industry:rural industry and local economy, 1500 - 1830.

The Militia Lists of the later eighteenth century survive more completely for Northamptonshire than almost any other county in the country and most of them include occupational information. Randall makes a passing reference to the lists but, writing before the published edition of those for 1777 made clear their great potential, he evidently felt that the time required to search the originals was too great for the light they would shed on Kettering.15 He did acknowledge their potential for the surrounding area. He may have been surprised at the extent of that hinterland. The villages of East and West Haddon are about fifteen miles as the crow flies from Kettering; more than a day’s walk, but comparable with the distance of many Leicestershire framework knitting villages from their organising centre at Leicester. As the frame census data made possible the plotting of the Leicestershire knitting villages, so the Militia Lists enable the same exercise to be carried out for the Northamptonshire textile villages. An exploration of this industry, with a unique and underexploited source of information on which to draw, in addition to the sources of the kind already used by historians of other textile regions, will throw light not only on the economic development of this particular area, but also contribute to the wider study of early industrialisation generally. As Pat Hudson has written on the importance of the local study, Local studies have tended to be used largely as illustrations of this broader story rather than as pieces of analytical research in their own right… yet only local studies can uncover the varied experiences which remain hidden and unexplored in national level accounts, their existence disguised by the attention focused upon national averages which may reflect no real experiences at all.16 15 V Hatley, Northamptonshire Militia Lists, 1777., vol. 25 (Kettering, 1973). P Hudson, "Industrialisation in Britain: the challenge of micro-history.," Family and Community History 2 (1999, 1999). 16 12 This thesis examines the manufacture of textiles in the county of Northamptonshire from around the last quarter of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth, and attempts to capture that variety of experience. As a local study, it takes account of geographical, economic and social factors within the county not only at the time the industry flourished, but also before and after. This longer perspective aids both understanding of the origins of the industry, and appreciation of its legacy in the industrial towns and villages of the county in the nineteenth century: understanding and appreciation which may be extended to other regions and industrial experiences. The perspective of the study is reflected in Hudson’s approach to the use of microhistory in the study of industrialisation: By spreading the research agenda over peasant ecosystems, family life, demography, economic and cultural change, and by asking about the local origins and experiences of the wider processes of industrialisation, the proto-industrial agenda has been one of the main stimuli to the new wave of micro-historical studies.17 Hudson’s own work, on the differing nature of social structures within the woollen and worsted- producing districts of the West Riding, has been reconsidered more recently in the light of her further detailed work on the Hearth Tax returns for Sowerby and Calverley. Echoing the work of Rogers and Mills, she examined the social structures underlying the worsted and woollen townships and discovered that the differences proved to be less marked than expected, revealing the greater variety of experience within each textile branch alluded to above.18 This later work however was made meaningful only by its foundation upon her earlier studies which provided the context. The aim of this current study is to provide a context, within which further studies of the impact of early industrialisation and the origins of the consumer economy may be focussed; whilst also revealing something of what had been ‘hidden and unexplained in national level accounts’ of the history of textile manufacturing in England. 17 P Hudson, "Industrialisation in Britain: the challenge of micro-history," Family and Community History 2 (May 1999, 1999). 18 P Hudson, "Land, the social structure and industry in two Yorkshire townships, c.1660 - 1800.," in Essays in honour of Eric M Sigsworth., ed. P Swan and D Foster (Beverley, 1992). 13 This work is, therefore, in the nature of a pegging out of the ground for future work. It is a pioneering study in Northamptonshire textiles; the first attempt to identify the textile district as a whole, and to explore the relationships between the rural producers and the urban centres at Kettering and Northampton. In addition, it includes an indication of the potential value of micro-historical techniques, which weigh such factors as technical innovation and the bland mathematics of labour supply, with the accidents of youthful indiscretion and what H J Habakkuk describes as the ‘great variety in the natural history of families’19, in the progress of economic affairs. Northamptonshire’s modest place in textile history has, up to now, been neglected and disregarded, overshadowed firstly by the county’s reputation in agricultural history as classic open-field country, widely subjected to Parliamentary Enclosure from the mideighteenth century; and secondly by its position as a leading producer in the footwear industry from the nineteenth century. Between the open fields and the closer’s bench arches a textile bridge which cries out for investigation. Chapter 2 The economic background. The development of manufacturing in Northamptonshire did not occur in isolation from the rest of the country. National, and to an extent, international circumstances had a bearing on its origins, progress and decline. An appreciation of those circumstances is important in providing a context for discussion and a means of raising useful questions. This chapter will focus on three elements in the current discussion of early modern industrialisation. Firstly the agricultural background will be considered as the foundation on which economic development grew. Secondly the consequences of the rise of the consumer society will be examined from the perspective of both the producers and the consumers. Finally the process of industrialisation will be considered with reference to the models of protoindustrialisation and the more recent ‘industrious revolution’. 19 Finch Five Northants families, preface by Habakkuk, pxiii. 14 Agriculture In 1956 P J Bowden traced a trend in English wool production which was to have a double effect on Northamptonshire textile manufacture.20 He demonstrated that enclosure for sheep pasture, which began in the lowland area centred on the Midlands around the fifteenth century, had more far-reaching effects on the quality of fleeces than earlier, generally highland, enclosures had done. Where grassland was poorer, fine English wool remained fine, but in lusher pastures fleeces grew heavier, longer and coarser. Whilst the production of more wool was the objective of sheep enclosure, the progressive lengthening and coarsening of the staple rendered it less and less suitable for the production of fine West Country broadcloths, England’s most important export. It was becoming increasingly useful, however, to the growing worsted branch of the industry which had received a powerful stimulus from the arrival of the New Draperies. These new fabrics were introduced with the waves of protestant refugees from the Low Countries and France through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to East Anglia and the Southeast. The City of Norwich was the principal centre of production and was drawing in supplies of long staple wool from all over eastern England and the Midlands. Little long wool was produced in continental Europe and the finer worsteds made from it were in demand from a number of foreign markets. This development was important in two respects: firstly in its direct effect on the course of textile history, and secondly in the effects of all that enclosure for pasture. Enclosure, however, was not the sole development in early modern agriculture. As population growth slowed in the period 1650-1750, grain prices stagnated, and per capita incomes tended to rise, reflecting the limited labour supply. Farmers responded by raising more livestock to maintain their incomes. There was, after all, only so much bread a person could eat and a proportion of the increased disposable income could then be spent on varying the diet, perhaps to include more meat and dairy products. Agricultural ‘improvers’ floated water meadows, grew new forage crops, such as clover, and turned their attention to breeding better stock. An unforeseen consequence of this increase in livestock production was a rise in soil fertility. This came from two directions: more animals dropped more dung to manure the land; and 20 P J Bowden, "Wool supply and the woollen industry," Economic History Review 9 (1956, 1956). 15 the nitrogen- fixing qualities of the new leguminous crops, such as clover and vetches, also added fertility. A run of good harvest weather at the beginning of the eighteenth century further increased arable yields, pushing down prices, which in turn encouraged more farmers to take up the new techniques and crops to make up the deficiency in their income from grain21. New, alternative crops were introduced, including woad, which was also of significance to the textile industry. In the century 1650-1750, agricultural output grew by 13%.22 It was a situation that benefited both farmers and the general population. Although grain prices fell, increased production levels, both from more intensive cultivation and diversification into livestock – dairying and stock-rearing as well as sheep - maintained or increased overall agricultural incomes, while those who bought the foodstuffs were able to make their money go further, either on more, or different food, or on other purchases. This rise in agricultural production was related to the topics of economic development and industry by A H John and E L Jones respectively.23 Both were concerned with the favourable economic situation which resulted from this surplus in stimulating demand from the home market and making a case for the importance of demand in driving development. Production for the market, overseas and at home, but particularly the insatiable market of the relentlessly growing London, encouraged specialisation. While subsistence farming requires a little of everything, a profitable return on land is best achieved by using that land for whatever it grows best, be that wheat, beasts or trees. Consequently, regional specialisation became more and more marked, so that, in general terms, the drier eastern counties produced the grain, whilst the wetter western counties grew the grass for pasture. But markets were still substantially regional rather than national, and local comparative advantage ensured that, for instance, while the fertile Nene Valley of Northamptonshire was largely arable, the colder, less fertile 21 R Duplessis, Transitions to capitalism in early modern Europe. (Cambridge, 1997). E A Wrigley, "A simple model of London's importance in changing English society and economy, 1650 - 1750.," Past and Present 37 (1967, 1967). 23 A H John, "Agricultural productivity and economic growth in England, 1700 - 1760," Journal of Economic History 25 (1965, 1965), E L Jones, "Agricultural origins of industry," Past and Present 40 (1968, 1968). 22 16 Northamptonshire Uplands, which gave a relatively poorer rate of return on cereals, might profitably be turned over to pasture. Seventeenth century Northamptonshire was a largely rural, mostly open-field county. Whether devoted to large scale commercial farming, or divided into smaller mixed family farms, the greater part of the land surface of the county was farmed in a labour intensive, unmechanised way, demanding wildly fluctuating labour inputs through the seasons, culminating, in arable areas, in the hectic few weeks of harvest. Where labour needs to be available but cannot be constantly fully utilised, a situation of underemployment prevails, which may sink into stagnation and poverty or may, in different circumstances, constitute a reserve of resources for economic development. Barry Supple, writing in 1961, considered the obstacles to enterprise and capital investment in the period preceding the Industrial Revolution.24 In the course of his discussion he identified the underemployed of rural England as a potential labour pool. An increased labour supply need not imply more people, merely a more intensive use of the time of the people already at hand. Many, he recognised, were concerned in the manufacture of textiles, or other industries, during at least part of their working year, but the largely rural nature of much pre-industrial production danced to agricultural rhythms. Bringing in the harvest formed the pivot of a precarious balance between agricultural and industrial development. While many hands were needed by farmers at this vital time of year, at other times these hands might be idle, or up to no good, or engaged in other means of making a living. If these other means were particularly lucrative, harvest wages would hold little attraction. If insufficient for supporting life, migration might remove potential harvesters from the field entirely (though removal orders might return them, when the parish might find itself under an obligation to relieve them). Thus, whilst industries were common in many rural areas by the seventeenth century, particularly as the influence of the urban guilds declined, their extent was limited by 24 Barry E Supple, "Economic history and economic underdevelopment," Canadian Journal of Economic and Political Science (1961). 17 local agricultural practice and the attitudes of major landowners. High industrial wages would tend to raise the cost of agricultural labour, causing farmers and landowners to discourage industrial development. More modest industrial wages, on the other hand might serve to maintain a pool of reserve labour for harvest and other busy times of the agricultural year. Not only heads of households, but wives, children and other family members might be anchored conveniently for peak demand, by the availability of non-agricultural work during the quieter seasons of the agricultural year25. It follows that industrial production was likely to be seasonal under agrarian landlords, probably non-existent under substantial pastoral landlords who had no need of a harvest workforce, and possibly more sustained through the year in a village of small mixed, or pastoral holdings, particularly where the population was larger than the holdings alone could sustain. As regional specialisation intensified those areas particularly suited to high agricultural production levels were able to supply more of the market and still release young people from the land. Less favoured regions found it more difficult to compete: …if they were to buy the tropical and industrial desiderata of the age they had to find something else to sell. 26 A H John looked at the other side of the picture, noticing that since it was grain prices which dropped, those for whom expenditure on bread loomed largest were among the greatest beneficiaries. In speculating on the possibility of small disposable incomes among the poor, he touched on an aspect of consumption largely passed over by other historians at the time he was writing: In this way, income tended to move into the hands of people who, through habit and/or necessity, were more likely to spend than to hoard.27 This habit of spending has been growing ever since, often regardless of what can actually be afforded. 25 G L Gullickson, The spinners and weavers of Auffay (Cambridge, 1986). Jones, "Origins." 27 John, "Agricultural productivity." 26 18 In a county noted for wool production rather than grain (though both were grown here), the implications of these agricultural developments are significant. The reduction in access to land as increasing areas were converted to pasture, might be expected to result in a growing population of land-poor or landless families with no stake in agricultural production beyond, perhaps, harvest wages. Bread might be relatively cheap, but some sort of income was needed to buy it. As more families became dependent on the money economy, the potential for consumption of goods produced outside the household became ever more apparent. The Consumer Society The growth of London was fuelled both by permanent migration and a shifting population of apprentices, provincial merchants and other business people and visitors, particularly upper class visitors during the Season. McKendrick has calculated that something like 16% of the total adult population of England were at some time exposed to the influence of London and its shops, lifestyles and fashions.28 The potential for aspiration, emulation, setting and following fashion and keeping up appearances must have been large, not only in the capital, but by example and report, all over the country. Lorna Weatherill’s study of probate inventories has demonstrated the substantial rise in the possession of consumer goods from the late seventeenth century on.29 Her analysis of the penetration of consumption down through levels of society indicates that it stopped short of wage labourers and those at the bottom of the social heap. Her main concern was with the ‘middling sort’ who aspired to serve tea and other new beverages in china vessels, from table linen, to button their fashionable new clothes in front of a looking glass and retire to a feather bed on a mahogany bedstead with damask furniture. The expanding market offered both top quality and cheaper imitation. The overseas markets which received English textile exports were also a source of exotic consumer goods. While Weatherill doubted that the labouring classes were 28 N McKendrick, J Brewer, and J H Plumb, The birth of a consumer society: the commercialisation of eighteenth century England. (London, 1982). 29 L Weatherill, "Consumer behaviour and social status in England, 1660 - 1750.," Continuity and Change 1 (1986, 1986). 19 engaged to any degree with consumption goods, Carole Shammas was inclined to disagree.30 In her study of consumption habits on both sides of the Atlantic, Shammas maintained that consumption was not necessarily based on rational choices and that those living at subsistence level may, on occasion, have gone without essentials in order to indulge in the odd luxury. Taking account of the poverty in which many labourers lived, she suggested: Under these conditions the appetite-abating and energising properties of tobacco, sugar and caffeine drinks might well have been especially attractive. Tobacco and the hot tea, coffee and chocolate beverages in turn stimulated the consumption of clay pipes and pottery dishes. In this manner, overseas products and home manufactures were united. Joan Thirsk made a study of seventeenth-century projects which were designed to substitute home production for some imported commodities, such as the cultivation of tobacco, or simply to utilise the underemployed labour of the poor on locally available raw materials in such enterprises as the knitting of stockings.31 The potential for employment offered by the textile industry is well illustrated by a seventeenth century broadside, demonstrating both the range of jobs and the suitable gratitude of the poor. Plate 2) The subject of stockings as a fashion item was the focus of another study by Thirsk, illustrating the variety and constant change which kept the market stimulated, along with the range of qualities available to consumers at all levels of society.32 Stockings are not a commodity likely to feature as a separate item in the inventories analysed by Weatherill, but even the poorest people might perhaps occasionally have aspired to wear a new colour or style. This situation was acknowledged by a seventeenth century writer in Leicester, It is not the curious making of a few Stockens, but the generall making of many that is most for the publick good, for that sets more people on work, as well Children and others, and when the stockens are made up and sorted there are amongst them some for all sorts of people and the buyer is able to Judge of them and to give prices accordingly. If none but fine Stockens be made the poore must go without.33 30 C Shammas, The pre-industrial consumer in England and America (Oxford, 1990).

Though household linens at this period found their historian in Margaret Spufford, whose Great Reclothing is an admirable contribution to the history of early consumerism, there is, as yet, no similar study of the bed hanging, cushion, upholstered chair or window 34 McKendrick, Brewer, and Plumb, Birth. 21 Plate 2.England’s Great Joy and Gratitude. curtain.35 But as with stockings, the range of fabrics and fabric qualities available for making these articles was wide. And some of them were made in Northamptonshire. As the choice and attractiveness of goods on the market grew, so the motivation to participate in that market increased. The marginal utility of money income rose as people became, in Supple’s words, ‘fully attuned to the possibilities of a steadily rising and widely variegated standard of living.’36 In the ‘industrious revolution’ of Jan de Vries, it was the wanting, not the starving, that kept people working, (though they may have been doing both)37 and perhaps resulted in the situation speculated upon by Carole Shammas: Paradoxically, the individual who drank tea in a teacup, wore a printed cotton gown, and put linen on the bed could be the same person who ingested too few calories to work all day and lived in a one-room house.38 In an online review of a book on consumer culture, Matthew Hilton, the reviewer, took one of the contributing writers to task for suggesting ‘that economists have failed 35 Margaret Spufford, The great reclothing of rural England: petty chapmen and their wares in the seventeenth century (London, 1984). 36 Supple, "Underdevelopment." 37 de Vries, "industrious revolution." 38 Shammas, Pre-industrial consumer. 22 to take account of novelty since they dismiss it as irrational … does she really expect them to incorporate such a concept into their models?’ he asks in astonishment.39 Some economists, or at least economic historians are prepared to do so. Barry Supple, in his survey of the pre-industrial economy of England, concluded, ‘If we define economic rationality as the balancing of individual cost against individual benefit, then, as has been argued, underdevelopment can be considered as the normal outcome of the rational allocation of private resources…there must be a strong upsurge of irrational behaviour and emotional choice. For where underdevelopment is the normal situation of an economy, growth can emerge only as the product of abnormal forces.’40 This sentiment is echoed in the work of a non-economist who, along with his economist colleagues at the Santa Fe Institute has signalled the potential for a revolution in thinking about economic history and economics in general in the newly emerging theory of complexity. He draws parallels with the discipline of biochemistry: The origin of life at a threshold of chemical diversity follows the same logic as a theory of economic takeoff at a threshold of diversity of goods and services. Above that critical diversity, new species of molecules, or goods and services, afford niches for yet further new species, which are awakened into existence in an explosion of possibilities. Like coevolutionary systems, economic systems link the selfish activities of more or less myopic agents.41 It is these ‘myopic agents’ which must concern us as we strive to understand the progress of industrialisation and consumer culture. We must have a care of E P Thompson’s poor stockinger whom he was determined to rescue from the ‘enormous condescension of posterity’42, and remember, with David Levine, that: 39 Matthew Hilton, Consumers and luxury: consumer culture in Europe 1650-1850, Maxine berg and helen Clifford eds. (review) [World Wide Web] ([cited); available from www.ihrinfo.ac.uk/reviews/paper/hiltonMatthew.html. 40 Supple, "Underdevelopment." 41 Stuart Kauffman, At home in the universe: the search for the laws of self-organization and complexity. (London, 1996). 42 23 Because we already know the final upshot, there is a tendency to assume that it was inevitable; such a tendency is mistaken in that it condescendingly rides roughshod over what, from our vantage-point seem to be ‘minor’ hopeless struggles for a different form of social organisation 43 Rural Industrialisation As Levine so astutely observed, the rural inhabitants of early modern England had their own perspectives and their own agendas. They were not waiting patiently for, or working actively towards, the Industrial Revolution. They were making choices, or taking opportunities, which appeared to be open to them at the time, in a rational, or irrational, manner, depending on their circumstances. Kauffmann might describe their perspectives as ‘myopic’. The spread of rural manufacturing and its relationship to mechanised, fixed-capital industrialisation has been traced, and variously interpreted by later historians from their own perspectives. Historians of the Industrial Revolution saw the transition from cottage industry to factory industry in terms of fuel supplies, transport, technological innovation and labour supply, bound together with capital investment. More recently, the revolutionary aspect of the transition from the first state to the second has been reconsidered in the light of re-calculations suggesting that the rate of growth through the eighteenth century was generally slower and more gradual than had earlier been appreciated. The notion of a pre-industrial stage, of industrialisation before industrialisation, gained currency and was crystallised in 1972 by the defining article written by Franklin Mendels, coining a new term and constructing a new model for the concept. Protoindustrialisation was put forward as a precursor to the phase transition of full industrialisation and Mendels saw this process very largely in terms of the figure of the entrepreneur.44 His model worked on the principle that an urban merchant or entrepreneur spotted, or conceived a market opportunity and then organised the production necessary to supply that market. Such production was increasingly located in the countryside. How did this follow from increased agricultural production? Given that there was an increase in food supply at stable, or falling, prices, and there was no immediate rush to reproduce – population rose only slowly –wages were not inclined to fall. This may have led to urban industrial labour 43 D Levine, Reproducing families: the political economy of English population history. (Cambridge, 1987). 44 Mendels, "Protoindustrialisation." 24 being too costly for low margin, bottom-of-the-market products. Labour was cheaper in rural areas where work opportunities were fewer and low wages might be subsidised by common and customary rights. Before Mendels, and a few years after Bowden’s paper on sheep enclosure and the changing wool supply, Joan Thirsk wrote a seminal study of rural industries which was concerned with the relationship between agriculture and early industry.45 She noticed a connection between pastoralism and industrial by-employment which supported a larger population per acre than ‘champion’ or arable. Her case studies were, for the most part, centred on less fertile regions where manorialism was weak and intensive commercial agriculture was not an option. But her observations might also be usefully applied to those open parishes in the fertile Midlands which received the refugees from local sheep enclosures. Mendels’ recognition that seasonality was an important feature of the rural labour supply was later taken up by Gay Gullickson, who demonstrated the utility of the protoindustrial model, not in the classic pastoral landscape, but in the highly commercialised cereal growing region of the Caux in France.46 Here, urban merchants from Rouen recruited off-season agricultural workers for the manufacture of cotton textiles. In England, GFR Spenceley demonstrated how the lacemen of the south Midlands employed the wives and daughters of agricultural labourers in arable districts where there was little female agricultural employment.47 M T Wild put forward a different type of industrial organisation in his consideration of the independent artisan producers of the West Riding. In the woollen branch at least, urban capital input was insignificant. Rural capital might be available, but successful farmers and landowners had a choice of ways to utilise rising agricultural incomes. They could hoard the cash, re-invest in more land, or more agricultural improvements. They could embark on new building (the end of the seventeenth century and early eighteenth is the era of Hoskins’ Great Rebuilding), as a means of storing capital, lay it out in lavish conspicuous consumption, or at least a more 45 Thirsk, "Industries." Gullickson, Spinners. 47 G F R Spenceley, "The origins of the English pillow lace industry," Agricultural History Review 21 (1973, 1973). 46 25 comfortable manner of living, including indulgence in colonial products such as tea, sugar and tobacco, or hazard it in new industrial enterprises with uncertain hope of return. Small, short-term risks were perhaps perceived as safer than large, long-term ones. So a moderate outlay in wool, worked up by artisans owning their own capital equipment in terms of wheels, woolcombs and looms might be expected, even by the cautious, to produce a steady and safe return. Wild showed how the manufacture, in the West Riding, of kersey – shorter, narrower and coarser than broadcloth and one piece the product of a single week’s work - could sustain a manufacturing family by producing a weekly income in return for a very modest capital outlay.48 Worsted production, geared to overseas export, tended to be more dependent on greater capital investment in order to allow for the periodic slumps occasioned by war or changes in foreign markets, reflecting the Mendels model. Pat Hudson charted the differences in production in the West Riding, mapping the independent artisans of the woollen district and the outworkers of the worsted.49 M J Daunton, in his later survey of the progress of protoindustrial theory, questioned whether in fact outworking and independence might, in some areas, simply be ‘alternative responses to local circumstances which could exist alongside each other’. Like Wild, he also drew attention to the potential for raising capital within the rural community. He cited the example of Jennings Berington of Hathorn in Leicestershire who died in 1740, possessed of a yardland and a stocking frame, and able to raise capital by the expedient of mortgaging his land.50 The potential of the community, and likewise the kinship group, as an autonomous economic unit, has been the subject of extensive study by Steve King. In his detailed study of four northern townships, he traces capital loans within a community, predominantly among the kinship group rather than immediate family or strangers. He identifies the recycling of profits as a key feature of the kinship economy, along with the channelling of children into particular occupations or strategic marriages to create economically useful networks of obligation. His study of life cycles showed that 48 M T Wild, "The Yorkshire wool textile industry," in The wool textile industry in Great Britain, ed. J G Jenkins (London, 1972). 49 Hudson, "Manor to mill." 50 M J Daunton, Progress and poverty: an economic and social history of Britain, 1700 - 1850. (Oxford, 1995). 26 people not linked to a kinship network were more likely to be poor, and to bequeath their poverty to the next generation. Even infant mortality was greater in families without kinship links.51 At the lowest economic level, he finds a ‘petty economy’ supplying such items as pasties and beer on a barter system, using a ‘period of reckoning’ after which any balance would be made up with money. A system of cooperation involved the lending and borrowing of such items as clothing, tools and cooked food. Proto-industrialisation is generally seen as a top-down process, often initiated from outside, and there has been relatively little consideration of the possibilities of a bottom-up infusion, driven by individuals looking for an improvement in their circumstances and latching on to courses of action that appear to be effective among neighbours and kinship groups. Too often the ‘labour supply’ is discussed as if it were an inert substance, entirely passive – the raw material for capitalist merchants looking for poor peasants to exploit. But there is another possible point of view – that of living, breathing underemployed human beings looking for ways of producing a money income in order not only to live, but also to participate in a growing consumer society. At a time of rising wage levels, leisure (or underemployment) becomes an increasingly expensive option. But how significant is the choice between leisure and money in a society where there are few goods on the market to encourage expenditure? Chambers saw the mobilisation of the labour force as a matter of capitalist industrialists marshalling hands to the wheels of production.52 Supple and de Vries have shown that there is another, bottom-up, perspective of underemployed people intensifying work effort (both their own and their families’) in order to take part in a growing consumer society.53 Weatherill has doubted that the new consumption goods made any great inroads among the labouring classes in the 51 S King, "The rural industrial family in Northern England 1700-1830" (paper presented at the Families at work: domestic industry and the family economy, Oxford, 1999). 52 J D Chambers, "Enclosure and the labour supply in the Industrial Revolution," Economic History Review 5 (1953, 1953). 53 de Vries, "industrious revolution.", Supple, "Underdevelopment." 27 eighteenth century, but her work has shown that industrial artisans were more likely to be enthusiastic ‘consumers’ than their yeomen ‘superiors’ in the social scale.54 Moving beyond King’s focus on the community and kinship group, Jan de Vries identified the household as the unit of decision-making which produced an increased labour supply for industry and increased cash circulation: In England, but in fact through much of Northwestern Europe and Colonial America, a broad range of households made decisions that increased both the supply of marketed commodities and labour and the demand for goods offered in the market place.55 He argued that the desire for a money income to spend in the market led families to reduce preference for leisure and direct the time of more family members, young and old, away from the household production of goods for household consumption, into production for the market, thus becoming reliant on the market for goods and services they no longer produced within the household. The mobilisation of market-oriented labour which arose from family aspirations he termed ‘the Industrious Revolution’. This model paralleled Mendels’ protoindustrialisation in recognising the existence of a transitional phase preparatory to an era of full industrialisation. But where Mendels’ focus is on the supply-side motivation of entrepreneurs organising production for the market, the de Vries perspective encompasses the demand-side phenomenon of significant numbers of families and individuals electing to allocate their own time and effort to securing a money income greater than that necessary for subsistence in order to become consumers of market goods. Without the increase in agricultural output, coupled with stable population levels, at the end of the seventeenth century, there would have been less disposable income for consumption to stimulate the home market. Without demand at all levels on the home market, more limited production of export lines may have been directed by merchants and entrepreneurs leaving little choice of goods at home. Without that choice of market goods, there would have been little motivation for many to opt for a money income over leisure, once basic needs had been met. Without the growth of London, 54 55 Weatherill, "Consumer behaviour and social status." de Vries, "industrious revolution." 28 stimulating agricultural production and specialisation, there would have been less likelihood of regional diversification into commercial agriculture and rural manufacturing. And without London’s influence on fashion and consumption, there would have been a slower growth of the consumer society in the country at large. Thus, the three elements under consideration in this chapter mesh together to form a framework on which to construct an enquiry into an example of early modern manufacturing which never developed into a full-scale factory industry. Evidence for a significant reallocation of labour into textile manufacturing in Northamptonshire has already been cited. Now the questions from the previous chapter may be reframed in the context of this one. How far can increased production be seen in terms of specialisation for the London market, or a response to earlier depopulations for sheep? A consideration of industrial location factors can follow the establishment of manufacturing distribution. Evidence for the range of fabrics being produced suggest possible markets and, ultimately, reasons for the failure of the industry to develop further. Who was organising production and what impact did that production have on the manufacturing communities? An enquiry into the progress of the Kettering Manufacturers is balanced with case studies of more modest participants in the industry, including aspects of the kinship economy, to arrive at a picture of the varied experiences of manufacturing, and also the effects of its decline. Both time and place are significant in the origins, development and decline of the Northamptonshire textile industry and their significance can be more clearly appreciated against the national background of agricultural change, the rising tide of consumption and the transition to commercial market production. 29 Chapter 3 Sources and methodology. Exploring an industry which declined before full industrialisation and which failed to excite the interest of contemporary writers to any degree, has its problems. Northamptonshire has no Piece Halls, no worsted mills, no ranks of cottages with telltale weavers’ windows or spinning galleries such as can be found in the north of England. Its associated equipment was, for the most part, easily recyclable – indeed, wooden looms and spinning wheels were probably more valuable, following the industry’s decline, as firewood. Contemporary references are tantalisingly rare and brief. The best hope for tracing the industry lies in finding the textile workers and entrepreneurs themselves: in attempting, as far as evidence allows, a reconstitution of 30 the industry, along the lines of the family reconstitution pioneered by the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure and others. Where demographers turn to parish register entries for the data needed for family reconstitution, we shall search out information on individuals and their occupations. This is an ambitious project and a comprehensive outcome cannot be looked for. But for part of the period at least, we can come very close. In the century before the Census, occupational information about the population can be hard to come by. In order to build a picture of textile manufacture within the county, sources for occupational data need, as far as possible, to cover the whole county. For this reason, those few parish clerks who went to the trouble of recording occupations in parish registers are only marginally helpful in a study such as this. Nothing is available to match the comprehensiveness of the Census returns from 1841 onwards (and even these data have their difficulties). There are however, a few sources which are of use for sketching in an industrial dramatis personae for the county. And for the period covered by the Militia Lists the sketch takes on an added depth and richness. Two other major sources cover the whole county. The probate records cover the whole manufacturing period and more; the marriage licence bonds supply valuable information for the earlier period, before the publication of the first Militia List. Other sources contribute smaller quantities of data, valuable in themselves and also for their usefulness in casting a sidelight on the major data sources, assessing coverage and comparing occupational terms. All these sources have their own strengths and weaknesses, which will be described below. Taken together, they have a unique potential for restoring a view of an almost forgotten industry. Militia Lists. Of all the counties in England, only Hertfordshire has a more complete collection of surviving Militia Lists than Northamptonshire. Northumberland has complete county coverage, but only for one year, while Kent survivals cover several years, but not the whole county.56 56 P Glennie, 'Distinguishing men's trades': occupational sources and debates for pre-Census England. (Bristol, 1990). 31 These matchless documents came to be made following legislation in 1758. This gave parish constables across the country the responsibility for producing lists of male inhabitants aged between eighteen and fifty, together with their occupations and notes of any incapacity for militia service. From the list of eligible names a given number would be selected by ballot for three years service in the militia. Further legislation in 1762 reduced the upper age limit to forty-five. The few exempted groups included peers, clergymen and articled clerks. For the rest of the population, exemption extended to the infirm and to poor men with three or more legitimate children and also, in subsequent years, to those who had previously been drawn in the ballot. Survivals for Northamptonshire run from 1762 to 1786 at varying intervals, but coverage is incomplete within the sequence. Leaving out Nassaburgh Hundred, which is missing for every year except 1762, the whole county is covered in 1777. In 1771 only Cleyley Hundred is missing; in 1774 Cleyley and Polebrook Hundreds are missing. Other omissions include Cleyley, Fawsley, Guilsborough, Nobottle Grove, Orlingbury, Spelho and Wymersley Hundreds for 1762, and Fawsley and Guilsborough for 1781. For 1786, only Nobottle Grove, Spelho and Wymersley survive. The following table and map of the hundreds will make the pattern of survival clearer. 32 Map 3.1.

For a more precise test of coverage, a comparison with a contemporary source of occupational data is needed. This is difficult to come by, but for Kettering the parish register contains occupational information in all marriage entries for this period. Searching these for the year 1777 and the preceding ten-year period 1767-76, yields a total of 130 names with textile occupations. Of these names, 53 appear on the 1777 Militia List for Kettering. A further 36 appear on previous lists (1762-74). Ten others appear on lists for other parishes (though it cannot be proved that these are the same individuals), leaving 31 names which are not found on any Militia Lists. 34 These may be accounted for by death (burial registers for this period have not been checked), or older, possibly previously widowed grooms may simply be too old to appear even in the 1762 list. (If born before 1717 they would be too old to be eligible for any surviving Militia List, but given good health and a strong constitution, might still be working at 60+ in 1777.) Burials with occupations recorded for Kettering early in the century suggest 30 deaths over ten years is a very high average (11 men with textile occupations were buried at Kettering between May 1719 and July 1720, but only four between February 1732 and December 1738), but the textile working population may have been much higher by the 1770s and therefore produce more deaths – particularly if living conditions became more cramped and unhealthy as the population rose. Thus, a combination of death, mobility and older workers may account for all those bridegrooms missing from the Militia Lists. In the light of these findings the lists can be seen to offer extremely good coverage of those involved in textile manufacture. In the absence of similar occupational information in other parish registers for the period it is impossible to say whether the comprehensive nature of the Kettering lists is typical of the whole county. Certainly there is some inconsistency across the county in the recording of exempted groups. Some parish constables appear to have been meticulous in recording absolutely everyone. Thus, as Victor Hatley noted in his edition of the 1777 lists, Thomas Harris at Crick managed to produce a longer list than William Coleman and Thomas Marriott, Constables of Long Buckby, which from other evidence would appear to have been a more populous village.57 Each list includes apprentices, poor men with children, the infirm and drawn men. Some of Crick’s drawn men, however, were drawn in the 1760s (men were exempt from the ballot only for the three years following their previous service), so this, and a longer list of infirmities, may explain the discrepancy. On occasion, exempted men were listed, but without an occupation, as at Yelvertoft and Harlestone in 1777. These omissions are doubly unfortunate, not only because they fail to reflect a complete record of occupational structure in the settlements concerned, but also because those exempted are largely the poorest members of the community who are least likely to be 57 Hatley, Militia lists. 35 covered by any other source. Other lists disregard the exempted men entirely, or score through their names without indicating the reason for exemption. Bearing these caveats in mind, the evidence of the lists is the most comprehensive available on which to base conclusions about the nature of the industry and those employed in it. A more serious deficiency to consider in using Militia List evidence for the history of the textile industry is the number of villages in hundreds with significant textile involvement where no occupations are listed at all for some years. Nowhere is this omission consistent, however, through the 1762-1781 sequence so that estimates may be made to fill in the missing occupations. Generally, the totals for the nearest year in which occupations have been recorded for the place have been substituted for the missing ones In order to determine the number of textile workers covered by the Militia Lists, the names of men with a textile occupation were extracted from the lists for each year and entered on a spreadsheet. This was then sorted by name and date to produce a chronological sequence of the occurrence of each name. A name was deemed to refer to a single individual unless it occurred more than once in a single year. This may have resulted in under-counting if, on occasion, John Smith senior became too old for listing after, say, 1771 and John Smith junior became of age for listing by 1774. It would have needed family reconstitution from parish registers to pick up these instances. This was not a practical proposition for the whole county. This count resulted in the identification of 3,449 individuals for the twenty years or so covered by the lists. This compares with just over a thousand (1,014) appearing in the probate records from the earliest in 1545 to the latest in 1855, and a similar total (1037) for the marriage licence bonds between 1685 and 1760. This clearly demonstrates the greater coverage of the Militia lists. While probate and marriage by licence were largely a matter of individual choice, the parish constables were expected to include all those, rich or poor, married or single, falling within the age and status criteria laid down by the Militia Act of 1757 and subsequent legislation. Probate Records. 36 Richer in detail and covering the whole county and the whole period under examination, are the probate records. From the last quarter of the seventeenth century at least, wills, bonds of administration (admons) and probate inventories generally include an occupational designation, Occupations are less frequently stated before this, but it is still possible to pick up sixteenth century weavers and fullers by their wills. A will may contain the testator’s name, place of abode, date of making, and of probate, occupation, name of executor, testator’s signature or mark and those of at least two witnesses. Beyond this, it may include the names of legatees, who may be family, friends, neighbours, business associates or creditors etc, also possibly trustees or overseers. Beyond these names, there may be details of bequests, in money and real estate, occasionally with the names of tenants or those from whom such property was purchased, and items of personal estate, which may be listed in some detail and may comprise working tools and stock in trade as well as furniture and other possessions. At some periods an indication of the value of the estate at probate is given, at others this is missing. Admons are less helpful but usually contain the names of at least two people bound to administer the estate of the deceased together with their respective places of abode. Often one of these is the widow and the other a neighbour, often sharing the same or a similar occupation. Probate inventories list the personal property of the deceased and generally contain his name, abode and occupation, together with the names of two or more appraisers. Property is listed in greater or lesser detail with valuations, and more often than not, on a room-by-room basis. The potential of these records to provide evidence for products, industrial organisation, lines of credit, standards of living etc, is obvious, though often unfulfilled. Probate records for the county of Northamptonshire fall within the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Peterborough, but are split between the two archdeaconries of Peterborough and Northampton. Lodged at the County Record Office, the Northampton Archdeaconry records have been indexed from 1510 – 1857, while 37 those for the Peterborough Archdeaconry have been indexed only from 1690 – 1799 so far. These indexes contain references to 1,014 men with textile occupations. Of these, 717 relate to wills, 58 to inventories with no associated wills or admons, and 239 to admons. 116 inventories were associated with wills or admons. The index entries were all gathered into a spreadsheet and all the inventories were read and transcribed. Wills were read and transcribed for Kettering, Northampton and the 39 villages with the greatest number of textile workers represented in the Militia Lists. This produced 504 transcriptions. All adult male testators for these parishes were also indexed for the period 1700 – 1855 to provide evidence for occupational diversity. Many more people died than made wills. To arrive at some idea of what proportion of the population made wills, comparisons have been made between wills and burial registers for selected parishes. All adult males, of any occupation or none, appearing in the burial register for West Haddon between 1690 and 1774 amount to 307, of whom 89 could be associated with a will, admon or inventory. If this parish is typical, then just under a third of the male population might be expected to be represented by a probate record. Since occupations are rarely recorded in this register it is not possible to demonstrate whether textile workers were more or less likely than other sections of the population to make wills. For the parishes of Crick and Long Buckby, where occupations are indicated in parish registers for limited periods, it is possible to discover a ratio of textile burials to willmaking. For Long Buckby, between 1708 and 1720 there were 12 burials and 4 wills associated with textile occupations, and for Crick, between 1722 and 1740 there were 11 burials and 3 wills. For all these villages then, between a quarter and a third of the male population could be included in probate records. A count of just one year of the Kettering burial register: 1719 –20 brought a different result.25 adult male burials were matched with just two wills. This may have been an atypical year, or may be saying something more significant about urban standards of living generally or poverty levels in Kettering in particular. The use of probate records to map textile manufacture introduces a bias to the wealthier end of the social spectrum which must always be borne in mind when comparing the distribution and progress of manufacturing in different places at different dates. However, this bias in itself may be a useful marker. Plentiful textile will-making within a community suggests a relatively prosperous, or at least viable, 38 industry, or may be evidence of a particular form of industrial organisation – an independent master or artisan was more likely to have sufficient property to bequeath than a weaver or comber who merely processed materials put out to him. The content of individual wills and inventories throw more light on this and are analysed in Chapter 4. By its very nature, the date of probate marks the end of a testator’s career. This career may have continued for many previous decades. The life may also have extended into a non-working retirement. This consideration makes wills a poor indicator of development trends at a given date. Marriage Licence Bonds Not everyone made a will. Neither did everyone marry. Nor did most of those who married do so by licence. Nevertheless, marriage licence bonds are an important source of occupational data for the period before the availability of the Militia Lists.. There are two sequences in Northampton Record Office. The first runs from 15981684 and contains relatively few occupations: a random sample count of 10% of the total suggests around 15% of bonds include occupations. The second sequence, from 1685 to 1760 is considerably more useful, comprising some 22,000 bonds. A similar sample of this sequence suggests some 65% of these bonds mention occupations. Where the groom’s occupation is included, those of the sureties (of which the groom was usually one) are likely to be mentioned too. So there are instances where a groom is not involved in textile production, but his surety is. This doubles the chance of finding textile occupations included in a bond. As mentioned earlier, a total of 1037 male individuals with textile occupations have been identified from this source. Elliott’s survey of marriage licences in Warwickshire suggests that around one fifth of marriages may have been by licence.58 65% of one fifth is a long way from comprehensive, but nonetheless in Northamptonshire the Marriage Licence Bonds contain a high proportion of names which are not associated with probate records. To test the coverage, data from the village of Long Buckby and the town of Kettering were used. Instances of grooms and sureties with textile occupations were counted 58 V Elliott, "Marriage licences and the local historian," Local Historian 10 (1973). 39 and matched against a list of probate records for the same places. For Kettering, 36 grooms and 24 sureties were counted for 1685-1760. Where the same name occurred more than once within a 25-year period it was deemed to relate to a single individual, and the 60 occurrences were reduced to 51 individuals. Of these, 5 appeared both as grooms and sureties. Of these individuals, 8 could be associated with a probate record. So while there was a degree of overlap, these sources used together yielded a much greater total of textile occupations. The Long Buckby count produced an unexpected result. For the same period, there were 42 grooms with textile occupations and 37 sureties, reducing down to 70 individuals, and against these, 13 probate matches. The anomaly is probably accounted for by the fact that there was a higher level of recording of occupations in the case of the Long Buckby bonds. A frustratingly high proportion of the Kettering bonds lacked occupation descriptions and many of these (given Kettering’s position in the industry) may have related to textile workers. However the ratio of probate records to marriage licence bonds in both places is similar, at roughly one to six. Like probate records, marriage licences have a bias towards the upper end of the social spectrum. Yet it is apparent from the Kettering and Long Buckby evidence, that both sources are not confined to the coverage of one single, narrow, elite social group. Consideration of what led people to make wills, or marry by licence, may help to crystallise the differences between an urban and rural community and the nature of the manufacturing which took place in each. The date of a marriage, unlike that of a will, is likely to fall closer to the beginning of a career than the end. Second and subsequent marriages, and the (probable) greater maturity of those who stood surety tend to blur the distinction somewhat: however it does offer a more immediate reflection of trends than does the date of probate. Marriage Licence Bonds therefore offer the best hope of tracing the earlier development of the industry. Wills were made by those with property to leave. They were particularly important to those testators concerned to leave specific bequests to particular family members or others, particularly when this involved leaving real estate disposed in ways at variance with the custom of the manor. The question of partible inheritance is relevant here. 40 There is considerable evidence from wills for partible inheritance. But in the absence of surviving local customals the status of heirs in intestacy is unclear, so partiblity cannot be considered always the norm for the county. Marrying by licence might be for a variety of motives. Since a licence cost twice as much as banns, it may have been a gesture signifying social status or aspiration. Conversely, since a licence allowed marriage to be solemnised away from the home parish, it might be an economy measure, to avoid the expense of a large local wedding party, two witnesses only being necessary. This, in turn, allowed for a measure of privacy for the politer end of society, unwilling to expose their private affairs to public gaze. As the developing consumer society turned increasingly to following fashion, the manner of marrying may have been seen as a ‘fashion statement’. The use of a licence may also have been seen by non-conformists an attractive way to minimise contact with the established church.59 Taken together, these two sources still do not approach the coverage of the militia lists, but with such a small degree of overlap they must represent a significant part of the earlier industry between them. Other sources. No other sources of occupational information at this period are as comprehensive as the three foregoing. But other more fragmentary sources are available, some helpfully indexed, at Northamptonshire County Record Office. Though occupational data is rare in parish registers, we have already seen that the Kettering marriage registers offer a useful sequence against which to check the Militia List coverage, and which are useful in their own right in tracing the marriages of textile ‘heiresses’ and other connections within the industry. Village registers seem less likely to contain occupations, beyond distinguishing John Smith, butcher, from John Smith, blacksmith. Crick and Long Buckby, however, each include about twenty years’ worth in the first half of the eighteenth century. 59 Ibid. 41 The index to the Sun Fire Insurance policies includes occupational descriptions, as well as names, dates, places of abode and sums insured. By their nature, they reflect the wealthier participants in the industry with sufficient property to insure. What proportion of those with property chose to insure it is unknown. One factor in the decision to insure may have been a condition of raising capital from another party, as illustrated from the following extract from a mortgage of 1776. And he, the said Richard Harris shall within one calendar month from the date of these presents at his own cost and charges insure, or cause to be insured in the Sun Fire Office, London, or some other publicke office of insurance and to keep insured during the continuance of this security all the premises hereby demised from loss or damage by fire to the amount of £50 at least and in case of any loss by fire the money due from the insurance office is hereby directed to be in trust for John Joyce.60 The Northamptonshire textile entries from this index covered the dates 1750 – 1771, neatly spanning the limits of the Marriage Licence Bonds, up to 1760 and the earliest Militia List in 1762. During this time 212 policies were taken out by 156 individuals, 2 of them women. These were matched against other sources as follows: 37 had no matches in other sources 12 had a probate match only 48 had a Militia list match only 10 had a Marriage licence bond match only 7 had an ‘other’ match only 42 had matches against more than one other source. As well as adding nearly 40 new names to what was probably the most influential end of the industry, this source also offers some alternative occupational descriptions for names appearing in other sources which are of use in clarifying how locally-used occupational descriptors were understood. The descriptions of goods insured, though frustratingly lacking in detail, are also of use in indicating patterns of industrial organisation and working practices. 60 Mortage of property, 25.05.1776, Richard Harris of the first part, John Joyce of the second part, original deed in the possession of Mr and Mrs Trunk of 7, Station Road, West Haddon. 42 The index to Poor Law Documents in Northamptonshire Record Office does not cover every parish in the county, but provides the names of dozens of master weavers or combers who took apprentices, mostly paupers, during the eighteenth century, as well as others cited in bastardy bonds, settlement examinations, etc. Whilst the masters mentioned may be reckoned among the wealthier textile workers, the subjects of settlement examinations, and the fathers, where mentioned, of pauper apprentices, are much less likely to appear in probate records or Marriage Licence Bonds, so this source can be considered less biased than those towards the wealthier end of textile manufacture. Property deeds are an enormous class of records to search systematically on a countywide basis, but a scanning of the County Record Office catalogues yields a useful crop for checking against other sources and widening the picture of property ownership offered by wills. Similarly, the files of the Northampton Mercury newspaper (1720- ) yield the occasional reference, from a weaver selling up, to one accused of assault, interesting situations vacant and notices of bankruptcy, in addition to valuable items relating to the national industry, such as opposition to the Lincolnshire Petition on wool export, and the setting up of Worsted Committees. The index to this newspaper, held at the Northampton Branch of Northamptonshire County Libraries, has given greater access to textile items than an individual search could have done within the time available. The newspaper was searched systematically for the whole of 1755, but it soon became obvious that even searching one year in ten would take too much time from the reading of other sources. The library index was used to identify potentially useful textile items, which, with a little serendipitous scanning of the surrounding months’ issues, yielded much of value. One other source of fairly random occupational information for this period are the Quarter Sessions Presentment Books 1693-1790 which yield nearly 200 names with textile occupations. Only Book 1 (to1719) has been searched for details of offences. Only one case had a bearing on textile manufacture,61 most were matters of assault, trespass, handling stolen goods etc. but the distribution of occupations makes a 61 NRO, Quarter Sessions Presentment Book 1: 1693 – 1719: “ Mich. 5 Anne. Thomas Green of Cranford, textor [weaver] for keeping three apprentices in his house contrary to statute. Robert Askew of the same, textor, for the like.” 43 valuable comparison with that derived from probate records for the same period. The overlap is not great. A total of 187 textile entries, reduced to 178 individuals (assuming the same name occurring more than once within 25 years refers to the same man) can be matched with only19 probate records. Sources for social structure and wealth distribution include Hearth Tax returns at the end of the seventeenth century and Land Tax returns at the end of the eighteenth. These do not contain occupational information. The Poll Books are a good source for freeholder information, although since they are a record of who voted rather than who was qualified to vote, they do not necessarily include all freeholders. Sadly there is a gap between the 1748 and 1806 Poll Books, so there can be no matching with the Militia Lists. Enclosure awards, where available, can throw light on social structure, indicating the number of landed proprietors in a parish, showing, in the subdivision of yardlands, the kind of pressure the land may have been under, either because of partible inheritance or sheer weight of population. The enclosure award will not indicate, of course, how long ago such subdivisions may have been made. The situation may, in fact, be masked by buying and selling of parcels of land between the Act and the Award; although in the case of somewhere like Crick the frequent repetition of the phrase ‘lately purchased’ is a good indication of this ‘eleventh hour’ market. All these records are available in the original at the County Record Office, with the exception of the Hearth Tax which is on microfilm, the original being held at the Public Record Office. J W Anscombe has produced digests of the county enclosure awards, which are also available for reference at the County Record Office.62 The problem of identifying spinners can, to some extent, be addressed by recourse to Quarter Sessions records where, at least for the end of the century, lists of those convicted of embezzlement and false reeling may be found. What proportion of spinners were involved in these practices it is impossible to establish. Similarly, what proportion of those involved were apprehended and found guilty cannot be ascertained. A very rough estimate of the total number of spinners may be calculated, given an estimate of the number of combers supplying them and the number of 62 J W Anscombe, Enclosures. 44 weavers being supplied in their turn. But only the Quarter Sessions rolls give names and residences – quite unique information on female workers. Occupational descriptors In the sources outlined above, individuals may describe their own occupations, or others may describe them. Thus, an individual making his will might choose to indicate his occupation with a view to displaying his status in the best possible light, so he might describe himself as a yeoman, whilst the appraisers of his inventory, neighbours of many years standing perhaps, might call him a miller.63Steve King and Graeme Morton have both discussed the question of first and third party perceptions of occupation and status as they appear in different classes of historical record.64 Village listings for the Militia ballot could be expected to include occupational descriptions by a constable who knew all his fellow parishioners personally, whilst those for a town might rely on hearsay, or asking individuals to describe themselves. That said, in a village where the industry was growing rapidly, the constable of Cold Ashby was constrained to add to the 1771 Militia List ‘Five woolcombers in Mr Edward Butlin’s shop who refuse to tell their names’65In this case the occupation appears less in doubt than the identity of the newcomers. A parish clerk, given to including occupations in his burial register might describe a late neighbour from his own knowledge; an Archdeacon, being applied to for a Marriage Licence, would rely on an aspiring groom’s own description of his occupation or status. This may cause few problems in the case of a single, defined occupation, but what of those engaged in dual or multi-occupation? There are instances where two occupations are both described, as in,’ Thomas Butlin, harrateen maker and farmer of Ravensthorpe,’66or ‘Charles Matthew, grocer and woolcomber of Yelvertoft’.67But the evidence of his will suggests that ‘Joseph Wallis, fulling miller of Burton Latimer’, was also a grazier, giving his trustees the choice of which 63 Northampton Will, Thomas Carter of West Haddon, proved 26th March 1726. S King, "Power, representation and the historical individual: problems with sources for record linkages in two Yorkshire townships, 1650 - 1820.," The Local Historian 27 (May 1997, 1997), G Morton, "Presenting the self: record linkage and referring to ordinary historical persons.," History and Computing 6 (1994, 1994). 65 Militia List, 1771, Guilsborough Hundred, Cold Ashby. 66 Militia List, 1777, Nobottle Grove Hundred, Ravensthorpe. 67 Northampton Wills, Charles Matthew, proved 2nd Feb. 1836. 64 45 business to continue for the benefit of his children.68Conversely, there may be cases where the textile element of a man’s occupation remains unexpressed in favour of his ‘other’ business. The definition of some occupations is itself problematic. There are very few individuals in seventeenth and eighteenth century Northamptonshire described as ‘clothiers’. Understanding the organisation of production depends on defining occupational descriptors from evidence in contemporary sources, notably probate records. This suggests that the entrepreneurial class in Northamptonshire textiles were, for the most part, not clothiers but sergemakers, and later, in some cases, manufacturers. (See chapter 4 for more detail). The raw material supply was managed variously by woolmen, woolwinders, woolsorters, woolstaplers and woolmongers. Woolmen occur only in the first half of the period of this study, sorters and staplers only later. How far is this a difference in function, and how far merely a change in terminology? Sorters are a particular problem. Wool must have been sorted throughout the period. Early sergemakers had sorting shops and/or sorting boards.69 So who did the sorting? Did the sergemaker himself undertake the task, or did he delegate it to someone who might regard himself merely as a labourer, or ‘Mr Gill’s man’, or was it originally one of the tasks taken on silently by the women of the household? There are no sorters among the Marriage Licence Bonds, but several in the Militia Lists. Only very late in the period is there a scattering of sorters’ wills. This would be consistent with an increase in the importance of sorting towards the end of the period, but the possibility cannot be ruled out that early sorters existed but were too poor to aspire to licensed weddings or will-making, and therefore remained invisible. On balance, I have chosen to assume that the increase in visibility if sorters reflects their growing importance and that in the earlier period the operation was carried out by the sergemaker, woolcomber, or whoever was buying in raw wool for their own use or for putting out. Methodology Countywide data collection has been limited to textile occupations where occupations are listed (with the exception of the 1777 Militia Lists where comparisons needed to 68 69 Northampton Wills, Joseph Wallis, proved 28th April, 1756. Northampton Wills, Edward Gill, inventory 2nd Nov 1723. 46 be made with other occupations.) This approach has its limitations, both as outlined above in missing textile workers whose occupations are not specified, and also for the evaluation of occupational diversity within communities and kinship groups. However, dealing with the entire male population of the county over more than a century was too unwieldy a project for practical consideration. Consequently the data being used must be considered to constitute an understatement of the numbers engaged in wool processing and textile manufacture. For every textile worker found, in whatever source, certain common data were recorded: name, place of abode, occupation and date. An Excel spreadsheet was created for each source, presenting the common data in a uniform manner so that all sheets could later be pasted into a single list, searchable by name, place, occupation or date ( with source reference to identify each entry). In addition to the common data, each source provided further data, characteristic of the nature of that source, so that, for instance, the probate sheet recorded the nature of the document – will, admon or inventory, and the probate valuation where given. Marriage licence bond entries included the surnames of both marriage partners. Taken with the date, this allowed the identification of each marriage from the entry of each partner, or any recorded surety. Militia List entries recorded details of infirmities, poverty and numbers of children, apprenticeship status and those previously drawn where this information was included in the original lists. The fire insurance policies sheet included the sums insured. It was then possible to sort by family name, location, occupation or date, as well as rank by value, as the investigation required. Copying all sheets into a single unified list made it possible to conduct rapid searches of all sources simultaneously when necessary. Before using this data to explore the extent of the industry on the ground, however, it was important to establish some technical definitions for the processes and products and people taking part in it. Detailed evidence from probate records and other sources were used to investigate firstly, what kinds of fabric were being manufactured in order to draw conclusions about possible markets and secondly to explore the range of working practices and industrial organisation, and through these, gain an understanding of the local meanings of occupational terms. Definitions and the 47 technical background are the subject of Chapter 4, together with evidence for Northamptonshire practice. The distribution of the industry was determined by plotting the main occupations from the militia lists on a county map, showing how far, in geographical terms at least, Kettering was the manufacturing centre. The size of the industry was estimated from the number of workers and the direct economic impact inferred from extrapolating the pricing evidence found in probate inventories across the county. A comparison with Hertfordshire’s militia list data revealed the relative significance of Northamptonshire production on a national scale, while a comparison with other occupations within Northamptonshire was used to judge its relative importance to the county economy. This is set out and discussed in Chapter 5. Having mapped the industry at its greatest extent, a range of industrial location factors were examined in Chapter 6, in order to discover what was most likely to predispose a community to become involved in manufacturing, to see how closely Northamptonshire reflected the protoindustrial model of a pastoral settlement with a degree of land poverty, loose manorial control and a substantial entrepreneurial organiser (or organisers) meeting a national or international market. This investigation necessitated the use of sources beyond those containing occupational data, such as Hearth Tax returns and local poll books, in an exercise comparable with those used by Rogers and Mills in a similar exploration of the location of framework knitting in Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire respectively.70 The chronology of the industry needed to be established against the national economic framework so that questions of cause and effect could be addressed. This is done in Chapter 7. Data from the main sources provided evidence for origins, development and decline, augemented by items from the Northampton Mercury to follow the progress of the Kettering Manufacturers and others, apparently not controlled by them. 70 Mills, "Rural industries.", Rogers, "Rural industries." 48 The limitations of the aggregate approach to the county have been appreciated from the outset. The use of so much data on individuals to reconstitute the industry inevitably raises questions about the impact of industrialisation on those individuals. Probate evidence has been used to consider the position of textile producers as active members of the consumer society. While living standards have generally been explored at a county level, a small sample of case-study textile villages has been used to mine further information from all sources in relation to such topics as the kinship economy, which was explored through the association of occupations and surnames. Using data on all occupations from the 1777 militia lists it was possible to determine the flexibility of occupational choice open to the population in textile centres and estimate their likely dependence on textile employment. The subject of urban-rural relationships was considered in the light of the greater detail explored in this chapter. Finally, an exercise in multiple source record linkage was focused on a single textile village, aiming to evaluate the usefulness of this technique in understanding the progress of the industry in a local context. The reason for the narrowing down to one village was simply the practical consideration of all the extra data collection, including parish register indexing, which was necessary for the fullest possible picture. Chapter 8 pursues these lines of enquiry. In Chapter 9 conclusions are drawn from the findings of this study. Northamptonshire’s experience in textile manufacturing is seen in the context of national textile developments but also in the general economic movement which was to change its nature significantly over the following century in the full flowering of the Industrial Revolution.Answers to the research questions originally formulated are evaluated, and further questions generated, suggesting scope and directions for further research. 49 Chapter 4 Processes, producers and products. Before the Northamptonshire evidence can be interrogated, the processes and occupations which were involved in early modern textile production and the end products of those processes need to be understood. This chapter will therefore focus on the technical information that will be needed to make sense of the Northamptonshire data. The definitions of much specialist vocabulary need to be clarified, or, where there is doubt, that doubt be made clear and possible alternative interpretations discussed. While both primary and secondary sources relating to the industry in other places and perhaps at other periods will be helpful in this, there will be occasions when conclusions concerning the implications of a particular term describing an occupation, process or product may be drawn from the context of the Northamptonshire evidence alone. This chapter will concentrate to a great degree on wool textiles, but other fibres were being used to produce fabrics at this time. Flax and hemp were two home grown vegetable sources of yarn which were both used for making linens of various qualities, hemp producing the coarser ones. Silk and cotton were imported and used either alone, or in combination with other fibres: for example cotton might be combined with flax in the making of fustians and silk used with wool worsted to produce bombazine. Silk and cotton as well as wool worsted, or jersey were all used in the production of stockings and other knitwear. However, wool is our principal concern here. The Properties of Wool A sheep’s fleece keeps the sheep warm and dry: warm, because the crimp in each strand supports an insulating volume of air within the fleece, preventing rapid loss of body heat; dry, because the lanolin produced from glands in the skin provides an oily, water-repellent surface to the fleece, shedding most of the rain, or at least holding it away from the skin where it can be evaporated away. These properties have been borrowed, via wool textiles, for the benefit of human beings. 50 These properties are affected by the processes through which the wool passes from fleece to fabric. But there is already a degree of variation before it leaves the sheep’s back. Nature and nurture both have their part to play in the quality and character of a fleece. By the beginning of the early modern period there were already a number of different breeds of sheep in England. These genetic differences may have originally occurred as a result of variations in climate, forage and geology. However, fifteenthsixteenth- and seventeenth-century improvements in the quantity and quality of pasture, particularly in the Midlands, had a dramatic effect on the quality of fleece from one flock to another.71 Consequently, before any processing was begun, there was already variation in the length of strand (or staple), its thickness and degree of crimp and the character of its surface appearance, including its lustre and colour. That variation increasingly dictated which fabrics could be made from a given sort of raw wool. The processes through which it was taken also differed in order to achieve a range of end products. The chief division was between long and short staple wool. Short wool, which was generally finer, went into the production of woollens, otherwise called ‘cloth’, whilst long wool was used to produce worsteds and ‘stuffs’, a generic term covering fabrics containing combed wool, with or without the addition of other fibres, including linen, short wool or silk (as in Norwich Stuffs). Fine, short staple wool was inclined to be more crimpy and therefore have better felting qualities, meaning that the fine, individual strands would mat together very readily, producing a dense, warm cloth with a soft, smooth finish. Short wool was prepared for spinning by carding to enhance this tendency. Long wool could be spun to produce a smoother, stronger yarn, having been combed instead of carded. Though long wool was generally coarser than short, the length of the fibres enabled a finer, tighter-spun yarn to be produced which resulted in lighter, cooler fabrics, suitable for southern European markets such as Spain, as well as meeting the emerging demands of newly developing British fashion. 71 Bowden, "Wool supply." 51 Though both woollens and worsteds were manufactured in England before the sixteenth century, the traditional English varieties of worsteds were augmented considerably by the introduction of continental European sorts introduced by successive waves of refugees through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. These came to be known as the New Draperies, as opposed to the woollen Old Draperies. Bowden contrasted the two, describing Old Drapery as ‘warm, heavy and monotonous in design’, as opposed to New Drapery, ‘light in weight and [with] a wide range of patterns.’72 Variety was key to the proliferation of the New Draperies. Sir Josiah Child saw this as the way to meet the demand of an expanding consumer society, ‘because the Humours and Fashions of the World change; and at some Times, in some Places (as now in most) slight, cheap, light Cloth, will sell more plentifully and better than that which is heavier, stronger, and truer wrought; and if we intend to have the Trade of the World, we must imitate the Dutch, who make the worst, as well as the best of all Manufactures, that we may be in a capacity of serving all Markets and all Humours.’73 Here is an echo of the observation from Leicester, quoted in Chapter 2, on the making of stockings in a range of qualities. This chapter will consider the processes which turned wool into fabric before the advent of mechanisation and the different characteristics of the resulting products. By understanding the differences between the production of worsteds and woollens, a clearer appreciation may be attained of the chronology of textile developments in Northamptonshire, both in its own right and in relation to other, major, textile production centres. A grasp of the sequence of production processes will aid the collection of evidence for occupations and types of industrial organisation within the county. Data relating to the types of fabric produced in Northamptonshire will throw light on their position in the market on the cheap – luxury spectrum and conclusions may be drawn in relation to the rise of the consumer society. The Processes In outline, the stages of production fall into three sections: firstly, handling the raw. 72 Ibid. Sir Josiah Child, "Of wool, and woolen manufacture," in Chronicon rusticum - cooerciale or, Memoirs of Wool, ed. John Smith (London, 1747). 73 52 wool, from sorting, possibly scouring, to carding or combing; secondly, the production of yarn, by means of spinning, doubling and twisting; finally the production of a length of fabric, from weaving or knitting to finishing, which might include fulling, tentering, shearing, pressing or other finishing techniques depending on the fabric type. The dyeing process was something of a moveable feast, taking place either before spinning, before weaving or after weaving (in some cases after marketing and exporting 1. The raw wool Sorting A Statute of 1554, quoted by Lipson, stated that ‘the perfect and principal ground of clothmaking is the true sorting of wools’74 This made the point that an even and uniform cloth could be made only from wool of a uniform quality. The mixing of wools could result in yarns not only of variable surface texture but also irregular and unpredictable reactions to scouring, fulling and other finishing processes.75 Ryder makes a distinction between sorting and grading in his Textile History article.76 Grading, he maintains is the older activity, in which an entire fleece would be assigned to a particular level of quality. Bowden links the development of sorting as a separate occupation with the changing quality of English wool following the growth of enclosure for sheep pasture. The fleece of a long-wool sheep has a greater variation of staple lengths and qualities within it than a short-wool fleece, calling for more care (and time) in selecting these out. He is of the opinion that wool sorting only became widespread in the later sixteenth century as the West Country clothiers began to complain of the scarcity of fine wool with the ever-growing proportion of coarser combing wool coming off the new pastures. 77At this stage, he suggests, sorting was being undertaken after purchase by the clothier. By 1616, however, he cites evidence of the work being undertaken by, or at the behest of, the woolstaplers. 74 E Lipson, History of the woollen and worsted industries (1927). E Kerridge, Textile manufactures in early modern England. (Manchester, 1985). 76 Michael L Ryder, "Fleece grading and wool sorting: the historical perspective," Textile History 26 (1995, 1995). 77 Bowden, "Wool supply." 75 53 As English wool became more diverse and the varieties of English textiles more numerous, the sorting functions performed by wool dealers increased in importance and complexity.78 Wool sorting involved the separation of the fleece into a number of different wool qualities. While Lipson quoted, from the above statute again, ‘the experience thereof consisteth only in women’, it is not clear whether a particular gender had the monopoly of the occupation by the 17th century. (In a 16th century context, Kerridge maintains ‘save for a few disabled men, sorting was women’s work’).79 Luccock, writing in 1805, maintained that wool was sorted differently according to its uses, specifying the three divisions of woollens, worsteds and hosiery. How common this approach was a century earlier is hard to determine. However, the terms he gives for sortings are useful in assessing the nature of the business being handled in Northamptonshire towards the end of the eighteenth century at least. ‘Common’, ‘tine’, ‘blue’, ‘brown’ and ‘super’ for hosiery, are quite distinct from the woollen terms ‘prime’, ‘choice’, ‘picklock’, ‘head’, downrights’, ‘seconds’, etc 80 (See chapter 7 for analysis of the Wilson wool Account Book). Wool of a particular quality would be matched with the same from other fleeces and the resulting ‘matchings’ would ensure the potential for a uniform quality of yarn. Ryder maintains that sorters were able to achieve remarkably accurate estimates of fineness by eye and by the feel of the wool.81 They could gauge how many hanks of 560 yards could be spun from a pound of the wool, giving a ‘count’. For example 60s wool could be expected to produce 60 hanks from a pound; the higher the count, the finer the wool. Scribbling and carding Used in the preparation of short staple wool, for the production of woollens rather than worsteds, scribbling was a kind of heavy-duty carding, performed using stock cards with coarse wire teeth, which opened out the wool and began to work it into a loose, airy mass. If the wool was destined for the production of the popular medley cloths, batches would have been dyed in a number of shades and an important part of 78 Ibid. Kerridge, Textile manufactures. 80 Ryder, "Fleece grading." 81 Ibid. 79 54 the scribbler’s job would be to achieve a subtle blending of them. Carding, with hand cards, continued this process with finer wire teeth, to remove any remaining small knots and ultimately produce a rolag of uniform consistency, ready for the spinning wheel.82 Combing The preparation of long staple wool involved combing rather than carding. Allison noticed that wool combing became a separate occupation only with the arrival of the New Draperies in East Anglia. Spinners had carried out their own combing for the old Norfolk worsted industry, But the new cloths needed finer and better quality yarns whose production involved specialised skills. The importance of combing is indicated by the large number of combers in the Strangers’ congregations: they outnumbered the weavers by about three to one.83 There are occasional references in the Northamptonshire evidence to jerseycombers as well as woolcombers. Since long-staple wool did not become jersey or worsted until it was spun, it is unclear how, or if, woolcombers differed in any way from jerseycombers. Kerridge implies that most Midland manufacturing was of jersey, rather than worsted, but offers no information on any differences in combing technique.84 Ponting’s description of the combing process includes a reference to scoured wool being oiled before combing.85 Combing for worsted was probably performed on unscoured wool, utilising the natural oil of the raw fleece to lubricate the strands. Alternatively, it may have been the treatment following combing that made the difference: Allison remarks, ‘while both types were produced from combed wool, carsey yarn was probably spun from washed wool whereas worsted “is spun in his oil”’. (In a footnote he speculates that carsey was the same as jersey or garnsey yarn.)86 This only adds to the confusion however, as ‘carsey’ is also a variant spelling 82 J de L Mann, The cloth industry in the West of England from 1640 - 1880., 2nd ed. (Gloucester, 1987). 83 K J Allison, "The Norfolk worsted industry in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: 2, The New Draperies.," Yorkshire Bulletin of Economic and Social Research 13 (1961, 1961). 84 Kerridge, Textile manufactures. 85 K G Ponting, "Introduction," in Account of the woollen manufacture of England, ed. Edward Baines (New York, 1970). 86 K J Allison, "The Norfolk worsted industry in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, part1.," Yorkshire Bulletin of Economic and Social Research 12 (1960, 1960). 55 of ‘kersey’ which is a fabric made of carded, rather than combed, wool. The most reasonable explanation of the difference between jersey and worsted would seem to be that while worsted was combed in its own natural oil, jersey was first scoured and then had some other oil added to it before combing. The point of combing was to lay the strands straight and parallel in order to spin a very smooth, often fine, thread, in contrast to woollen yarn, spun from carded wool, which had the effect of fluffing it up for spinning into a softer, bulkier, more airy yarn with plenty of ‘loft’. As Bowden points out, the wool from Norfolk sheep had poor felting quality, making it unsuitable for carding and broadcloth production.87 This may account for the origins of worsted production in Norfolk. By the 19th century and the introduction of mechanised combing, long wool was, in some cases, carded before combing, where a fabric of a more ‘clothy’ character was the end result.88 The smooth jersey or worsted yarn, by contrast, could not only reveal the pattern of the weave in the finished fabric, but would also take a glossy finish by calendaring or hot-pressing. Not only did combing lie the strands straight, it also pulled out all the short fibres which, if not removed, would have led to the spinning of lumpy, uneven yarn. The chief, most sought-after, product of the combing operation was the long, smooth sliver of fibres known as ‘tops’. The short, waste fibres were termed noils, or nyles and flocks. These were either used to stuff mattresses, as in ‘flock beds’, or sold to woollen cloth producing areas to be spun for making coarse woollens.89 The comber used a heavy pair of combs with two or three rows of metal teeth which were heated over a charcoal fire in a comb pot before one was fixed to a post in the comb shop and loaded with a handful of wool. The other comb was then used to tease out tangles in the long fibres and pull out the noils and other waste. James, quoting Luccock, notes that after the top had been removed from the comb, a second combing, at a lower temperature, was necessary before the wool was fit for 87 Bowden, "Wool supply." J James, History of the worsted manufacture in England, from the earliest times. (London, 1857). 89 The same term is applied to silk today, as seen in the 2003 Catalogue of The Silk Route, Frimley Green, Surrey, GU16 6LN, ‘Silk noil is made from the short fibres from the cocoon rather than a continuous length of silk so it has a rough texture.’ 88 56 spinning. This may have been a 19th century development (when Luccock was writing), or it may have been recommended if the wool was destined for a particular type of yarn.90 (See below for a rebellion against double combing in 18th century Northmptonshire.) Double combed or not, scoured or not, dyed or not, the tops moved on to the spinner. 2. Yarn production Spinning A 16th century State Paper distinguishes between three major types of wool yarn Jarsey and worsted yarns be made of combed wool and woollen yarn is made of carded wool…worsted is spun in his oile – Jarsey is washed out of his oilie and spun cleane.91 The same document noted that woollen was spun on the great wheel, jersey on the Jersey wheel (also known as the Saxony wheel) and worsted ‘on the rock’ or distaff and spindle. Further, Jarsey yarn maketh warp for the finest stuffe. It is often used for the uffe [weft] to silke warpe, because it matcheth best with silke for both fines and softnes.92 The jersey, or Saxony wheel was originally used for flax spinning, being more suitable, as Coleman points out, for long fibres than short.93 Spinning on the distaff produced the tightest and strongest yarn of all, but appears to have been confined to East Anglia, once wheels became widely used in the rest of the country. Spinning was almost entirely a female pursuit and not confined to textile villages and towns. Lipson quotes a description of the parish of Mellor, near Manchester, in 1770, ‘the great sheet anchor of all cottages and small farms was the labour attached to the handwheel’.94 The same description estimated a ratio of six to eight spinners needed to supply the yarn for a single weaver, while Robin Thornes, writing of the Yorkshire industry 90 James, History of worsted. Kerridge, Textile manufactures. 92 ibid. 93 D C Coleman, "Textile growth," in Textile history and economic history: essays in honour of Miss Julia de Lacy Mann., ed. N B Harte and K G Ponting (Manchester, 1973). 94 Lipson, History of the woollen and worsted industries. 91 57 estimated a ratio of ten to one before the introduction of the handspinning jenny.95 This is closer to the estimate of nine to one put forward in The weaver’s true case.96 The variation in estimates may reflect the variety in practice, depending on the skill of the spinners and the fineness of the spinning required, and the extent of throwing, twisting and doubling necessary to produce the appropriate yarn for the fabric for which it was intended. These later operations combined two or more strands of spun yarn, either to produce a stronger or bulkier thread, or to combine strands of more than one colour for various woven effects. Allison, writing of the New Draperies in Norfolk in the 16th and 17th centuries, maintained that, …twisterers sometimes intervened between spinner and weaver to twist the yarn into thread; but most weavers employed a servant or apprentice “to turn a twistering mill”97 That may have been the case in the time and place of which he was writing, but these processes may later have become the preserve of the specialist yarnmaker, an occupation that appears distinct from the spinner. Once the yarn had been produced it was then made up into fabric of one sort or another. There were two ways of doing this. Weaving produced a flat fabric which could be used, with minimal cutting, for such items as curtains, or more elaborately cut, stitched, steamed and pressed for tailored items such as coats. Knitting produced either a flat or a tubular fabric which was less susceptible to cutting as it would fray and ‘run’ more readily than most woven fabrics, but it was capable of producing an almost finished article of clothing, such as a stocking or a glove, in a single operation. Weaving A woven textile consists of two elements; the warp and the weft. The warp runs the length of the fabric and is wound onto the loom, on the warp beam, before weaving commences. The weft is the yarn that is sent back and forth across the warp by means of a shuttle. So far, so simple; but when one considers in just how many different ways that weft may cross that warp, or warps, the skill of the master weaver begins to 95 Thornes, Noble scene. Claudius Rey, The weavers' true case, or, the wearing of printed calicoes and linen destructive of the woollens and silk manufacture (n.d. [1719]). 97 Allison, "The Norfolk worsted industry in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, part1.." 96 58 be appreciated. A plain tabby weave consists of a single warp, with the weft passing under alternate threads in one direction and over those same threads on the way back. This fabric looks the same on both sides. In the case of woollens it hardly matters what the weave looks like, as it will be obscured in the finishing process. (Except for kersies where the weave was twilled and visible.)98 In the case of worsteds however, the variety of fabrics is directly related to the variety of possibilities in the setting up of warp and weft. The weaver shown in Plate 3 shows clearly why the expression ‘the loom I work in’ appears in so many weavers’ wills. He really is sitting ‘in’ rather than ’at’ his loom, which seems to be taking up the best part of his cottage living room. The wheel in the foreground suggests someone else within the household may be supplying some of his yarn, and the bowl of quills may be the work of one of his younger children. 98 Charles Wilson, England's apprenticeship, 1603-1763, ed. Asa Briggs, Social and economic history of England (London, 1965). 59 Plate 3. The weaver in his loom 60 The warp threads needed to be stronger than the weft, and in certain fabrics, different fibres were used for each. For example, linsey-woolsey was composed of a carded wool weft on a linen warp. Some serges, such as those produced in Devon, had worsted warps and woollen wefts. Everlastings were all-worsted, or jersey, but had double, or even triple warps. In order to strengthen the warp, it might be sized by various means. This could either be done on the loom, or ‘in skein’ by steeping it in chalk and water before putting it into the loom, or by the use of glue99. There are numbers of Northamptonshire inventories in which warping bars are listed in association with warping fatts which may be indicative of ‘in skein’ warping. Between the warp beam at the back of the loom and the cloth beam at the front, the warp threads were painstakingly threaded through gears, heddles or healds which regulated which threads were lifted to form the shed through which the shuttle was thrown and these were operated, singly or in combinations, by treadles. In front of the gears a sley, reed or batten was used by the weaver to beat each new weft thread closely up to the previous one in order to achieve an even texture in the fabric. Varieties of everlasting illustrate some of the combinations of gears or healds. While the standard variety was woven with five healds, prunellas needed only three, while a heavier kind, known as serge de Berry utilised seven.100 The healds controlled the number and order of threads the shuttle would cover at each pass, producing a plain weave (tabby), a satin, or various types of twill and other more complex patterns. The draw loom enabled the weaver, with the aid of a draw boy, to produce complicated patterns, with shuttles of a number of different coloured yarns in play simultaneously, as in Norwich stuffs, which employed a mix of silk and worsted, and enjoyed a reputation as the finest and costliest of worsted-mix fabrics The variety of worsted patterns meant that worsted weavers needed either to be more versatile than woollen weavers, or to specialise in a limited number, or even a single fabric type. Skills were needed not only in the weaving operation itself and the use of different sequences in up to four treadles, but also the warping up of the loom before weaving even began. Mann points up the difference in skills between an independent weaver and a journeyman in a workshop, 99 Mann, Cloth industry. James, History of worsted. 100 61 Shopweavers…were generally given preference in employment…but the work was less skilled, since the weaver neither sized his warp nor put it into the loom.101 Woollen weavers had only two healds to thread, with alternate warp strands. Worsted weavers had more healds to thread, and more counting to do. Whether worsted or woollen, the completed fabric, when cut from loom , still had a way to go before it was fit for the tailor’s or upholsterer’s use. It was (except in the case of jerseys) greasy, possibly a bit uneven, rough, dull and disfigured with a certain amount of knots and broken threads. Even if it were to be sold undyed it needed some tidying up. Finishing The big difference between woollens and worsteds came at the fulling stage. Woollens were first scoured to de-grease them, and then beaten in a fulling mill until the fibres were felted together and the fabric was shrunk and thickened: [scouring with a]slow motion of the hammers, leisurely without such violence as heats it much: and the fulling followed with quick heavy strokes which heated the cloth and shrank the fibre.102 Some mixed fabrics were also fulled. Kerridge cites evidence of Kentish says being milled in 1651, and Devon serges were still being fulled in the 18th century. But most worsteds, having been washed in hot water, were then calendered, by means of heavy rollers, to produce a smooth and lustrous surface.103 Hot-pressing, with heated metal plates, produced a glossier finish, while further decorative effects could be achieved by watering before pressing, to produce the moiré patterns of moreens, or the use of an engraved metal roller to impress damask-like patterns onto the surface of harrateens. Woollens, after fulling, were stretched on tenters for some days or weeks to recover from the stresses of the mill and restore an even texture to the cloth. It was then taken 101 Mann, Cloth industry. ‘Sir William Petty (who was the son of a Romsey clothier and wrote an account of clothmaking for the Royal Society, 1661) quoted by J de Lacey Mann, in Ibid. 103 Kerridge, Textile manufactures. 102 62 down and had its nap raised with teazle heads before shearing removed the long loose ends of fibres. The resulting cloth was dense and smooth, with no sign of the weave. Burling, or the removal of knots and other imperfections, might be undertaken before fulling, or after shearing. Mann suggests that really good quality cloths might have been done at both ends of the finishing process.104 Other specialist effects could be achieved by processes such as cottoning or frizzing. Cottoning produced a soft, fluffy nap by means of a rubber or rowing card on a cottoning board. Frizzing produced a harder, tufted and curled nap.105 Knitting Knitting was the other method of making up yarn into wearable fabric. Hand knitting on two needles, which produced a flat textile requiring seaming for articles such as stockings, began to be superseded by four-needle knitting from the late 16th century. This technique produces a seamless, tubular fabric. Kerridge maintains that a seamed knitted stocking had no advantage over a tailored woollen one in kersey.106 However the elasticity of a knitted article could be expected to give a closer, more comfortable fit. Hand knitting would have been easily portable and well adapted as a byemployment, to be fitted in around other tasks during the course of the day. Hand knitting remained competitive even after the introduction of framework knitting as long as the early frames, with as few as eight needles to the inch, produced very coarse knitwear and were unable to produce the ribbed tops which helped to keep the stockings in place. It was the middle of the eighteenth century before ribbing (the alternation of plain and purl stitches) could be mechanised, by which time needle counts had risen considerably, resulting in much finer knitwear. In his history of framework knitters, Henson declares that worsted hose ‘were universally made from three thread and even from four and five thread worsted.’107 Even so, the ratio of spinners and throwers to knitters is still much lower than to weavers.(See table 4.4). This may reflect the greater complexity of framework 104 Mann, Cloth industry. Kerridge, Textile manufactures. 106 Ibid. 107 Gravener Henson, Henson's history of the framework knitters: a reprint with a new introduction by Stanley D Chapman (Newton Abbott, [1831]). 105 63 knitting. Further, with only two spinners needed to supply a knitter, it would seem to be a more manageable enterprise for a small, self-contained household. Felkin enumerates eleven separate movements to operate a frame to produce a single course or row of knitting in his account of the industry. While a skilful hand knitter could produce 100 stitches a minute, he estimates that 5-600 could be made on Lee’s first frame, and considerably more on later models. He records: A youth ten or twelve years old soon learns to work in it. The author at thirteen years of age produced three pairs of fashioned women’s twenty six guage full sized hose between six in the morning and nine in the evening of a summer’s day in 1808.108 Whether these were worsted, silk or cotton he does not record. Plate 4 shows a knitter at his frame. It does not dominate the room in quite the same way as the loom in Plate 3, but the intricacy of the mechanism perhaps required more light for its operation – the knitter’s window panes are much larger than the weaver’s. He probably earned more than the weaver (see Table 4.7) and might be better able to afford the new, larger window panes. 108 William Felkin, Ahistory of machine-wrought hosiery and lace manufactures: Centenary edition introduced by an essay on the life and work of William Felkin by Stanley D Chapman (London, [1867]). 64 Plate 4. The knitter at his frame. 65 Dyeing Wool will not take a dye while it remains oily or greasy. So at whatever stage it was dyed: in the wool, in the yarn or in the piece, it first needed to be scoured. This might be done with soap and water, or, utilising the ammonia it contained, stale urine.109 Since worsted was spun ‘in his oilie’ it had to be spun white. Short staple wool destined for medley cloths was scoured and dyed before spinning so that two or more shades of dyed wool could be mingled on the wheel.110 Kerridge notes that dyeing in the wool or the yarn was preferable to dyeing in the piece in situations where wools were mixed or where water was hard. These measures ensured a more even colour in the finished piece.111 A uniform colour was not always the object, however. A seventeenth –century description of a variety of worsted known as cantiloon or catalowne consisted of a warp combining two threads of different colours together with a weft thread of a third colour.112 This must have produced a speckled effect, sharper and more distinct than the dyed-in-the-wool medleys. Dyeing in the piece was particularly important for achieving the brightest colours and generally, whatever the finished colour was to be, the first dyestuff to be used was woad. Joan Thirsk emphasises the importance of this commodity, quoting from a sixteenth-century source: ‘no colour in broadcloth or kersey will well be made to endure without woad.’ Two seventeenth-century writers concurred, ‘the ground of good colours is substantial woading, without which divers colours cannot be perfectly made, as blacks, russets, tawneyes, purples, greenes and such like’, and, ‘Woad is the stale and chief of the dyer’s trade, layeth a foundation for all holding colours.113 A copper dye vat was used for woad, and this same vat could be used for batches of other colours also. Pewter was better suited to the dyeing of scarlet, however, so a dyer wishing to produce a wide range of colours would need two vats to carry on his 109 Mann, Cloth industry. Ibid. 111 Kerridge, Textile manufactures. 112 James, History of worsted. 113 W Blith, "The English improver improved," (1652), J May, Declaration of the estate of clothing now used within this realme of England (1613). 110 66 business.114 Apart from the vats themselves, a dyehouse needed a good supply of water (well and river water produced different colour effects) and stocks of fuel for heating the vats, either charcoal or coal. The products The end results of all these processes were various in properties, qualities and purposes. A superfine broadcloth might be made up into a coat to shed the rain, while a loosely woven tammy served as a straining cloth, offering little resistance to liquids. On the other hand, a finely woven tammy, glossed by hot pressing, might make a ball gown. The thick weft threads of a moreen or harrateen would not only take a good impression from an embossing roller, but also give the fabric good insulating qualities when it was made up into curtains. A minimum of making up might be required for knitted articles such as stockings, breeches and gloves where the shaping was done on the needles to produce a close and comfortable fit. A mix of fibres might combine the strength of a worsted or linen warp with the softness or sparkle of a woollen or silk weft. Colours and designs were determined at three stages: firstly, by the positioning of dyeing in the production sequence, secondly, the weave – from single coloured textures to elaborate multi-coloured figuring on a draw loom, and lastly, the combination of finishing processes. These examples may be set beside a list compiled in 1738 by a Northamptonshire manufacturer, though this does not purport to itemise exclusively Northamptonshire products. John Munn, probably of Kettering, had travelled to see for himself working practices and conditions in the textile industry in various parts of Europe and returned to give evidence about them to the British government in 1731.115 In 1739 he published a second edition of a pamphlet, principally drawing attention to the evils of wool smuggling. However, in the course of his argument he included valuable information about both products and occupations in England. Most famous is his list of the types of fabric commonly made from combing wool, both on its own and in 114 115 Kerridge, Textile manufactures. Julia de L Mann, The cloth industry in the West of England from 1640 to 1880. Gloucester. Sutton. 1987. 67 mixtures with short, carding wool and other fibres116. The combined lists include 53 named fabrics (along with such items as caps, gloves and stockings). Of these, eight can be identified from other sources as having been manufactured within the county, all of them purely of combing wool. As well as these eight named fabrics, stockings may also be included. In addition, two other fabrics not on his list occur in other Northamptonshire sources, namely morine and shag. Either they slipped his mind at the time of writing, or they were introduced later in the period. (The earliest reference to morine, or moreen, however, occurs in John Thurlby’s probate inventory in 1716 at Weldon.)117 Munn’s list of fabrics made solely of combing wool is given here with the Northamptonshire products shown in bold: Says Serges Camblettees Borsleys Sagathies Calimancoe plain Shalloons Duroys Calimancoe flowered Spanish crapes Durants Damasks Tamys Buntings Everlastings Purnellows Boulting cloths Cantiloons Sattanets Swathing bands Worsted plush Harrateens Serge denim Quarter diamond Cheneys Camblets Bird’s Eye diamond Grogram Gartering Caps Paragon Quality binding Gloves Cadis Stockings Breeches knit The Northamptonshire products on this list are on the whole some of the least decorative of the worsteds. While cantiloons used dyed yarns of different colours in warp and weft, and harrateens could be embossed in imitation of damask, most are generally monochrome, workaday fabrics. Evidence for pricing, particularly comparative pricing, is frustratingly elusive. However, an inventory for John Sanders of Wellingborough gives sufficient 116 Observations on Wool and Woollen Manufacture, by a Manufacturer of Northamptonshire, 2nd edition, London, 1739, quoted at length in J.James, History of the worsted manufacture in England,London, Cass, 1968, [Facsimile reprint of the first edition, London, Longman, 1857.] 117 NRO Peterborough wills, John Thurlby 1716: inventory Box 10, 3016. 68 information to calculate the price per yard of various fabrics. Those relevant to this study may be summarised as follows: Cloth (various qualities) 9-24d Freise 16-18d Shalloon 9 3/4d Callimanco 9 1/2d Linsey 8d Baise 8d Hemp cloth 6d Coarse towelling 3d Canvice (canvas?) 1d The full inventory may be found in Appendix 1.118 More detail about fabric types is given in the Glossary in Appendix 2. The Producers A number of sources containing evidence for the processes and their sequence in textile production have been used to extract data from which to calculate ratios of numbers employed in each process for the three wool textile branches of woollens, worsteds and hosiery. Further, an attempt has been made to cost production, expressed both as cost per pound of raw material and average cost per worker. However, care must be taken in comparing the data for each source as the precise conditions on which each set of figures is based is not always clear. They offer an indication only, but are still a huge advance on blind guesswork. The State Paper of 1615, already referred to in Chapter 1, distinguished few operations: spinning, weaving and tucking (fulling) for woollens; and combing, spinning, weaving, tucking and knitting for ‘stuff and stockings’119. The inclusion of tucking in the second list suggests that at this period some at least of the stuffs were being fulled (as Devon serges continued to be through the following century). There is no indication in this document, of the numbers taking part in each process, but there 118 119 NRO Northampton wills, John Sanders, 06.05.1738:inventory. Thirsk and Cooper, eds., Seventeenth century economic documents. 69 are costings. In the manufacturing of three tods of wool into woollen cloth, fourteen people could be expected to earn £1.13.6 [£1.68], an average of 12p per person. The same quantity of wool converted into New Drapery (‘stuff and stockings’) would employ 40 or 50 people for a total of £7. A calculation here demonstrates that not only are more people employed, but average earnings are rather higher. Even at the highest estimate of 50 persons, average earnings would have been 14p. The lower estimate of 40 produces an average of 17.5p. At this period, then, it would seem likely that the introduction of the New Draperies into a district would have been welcomed by potential workers. The processes involved in cloth production (Old Draperies) may be inferred from a list presented by John Haynes, a Commissioner for the prevention of smuggling, to Parliament in 1702.120 Haynes, a wool factor, demonstrating the revenue lost to the nation through loss of employment due to wool smuggling, listed the numbers employed at each stage of woollen production, set out here in table 4.1. This listing draws attention to the number of finishers employed in this branch.

Figures in square brackets represent the earnings of a single worker, rounded to the nearest penny. Source: John Haynes, Great Britain’s Glory, 1715. Table 4.2. Comparative costings for new draperies and stockings. This comparison illustrates both the main processes and the price differentials involved in the manufacture of new draperies on the one hand and stockings on the other.121 Whilst knitting consumed a range of fibres in addition to wool, this branch of the textile industry utilised significant quantities of combed wool, particularly in Leicestershire, just over the Northamptonshire boundary. 121 John Haynes, Great Britain's Glory (London, 1715). 71 From these figures it can be seen that the ratio of spinners to weavers was very much higher for New Draperies (10:1) than for Old draperies (10:3) and lowest of all for framework knitting (2:1). Even when the carders are taken into consideration, raising the Old Drapery ratio to 10:1.5, it seems probable that the introduction of the New Draperies brought with it greater opportunities for female employment in spinning. Also, though not included in the Haynes table, there may have been female employment opportunities in the seaming of knitted stockings which would have offset to some degree the low ratio of spinners to knitters. However, a calculation of individual earnings, compared with the 1615 figures, suggests that levels of earnings declined over the course of a century.(Allowing for the 1615 estimates being based on 84lb of wool and the 1715 ones on 240lb, dividing the 1715 total by 2.857 [240 divided by 84] gives an average individual earning figure of 12.09p, instead of 1417.5p.) In about 1719, a pamphleteer set out A Weaver’s True Case against the damage being done to home production of light worsteds, by the importation of Indian cottons or calicoes. In pursuit of his argument he produced the fullest list, so far, of the processes involved in stuff, or worsted, production, and costed most of them, as well as giving employment figures from which to calculate ratios. (Tables 4.3; 4.4). Bearing in mind the purpose for which the pamphlet was written, we may assume the figures err on the generous side.122 His phrase, ‘the week’s work for one of these looms and its dependents’ underlines the nature of small-scale, domestic production, where many of the processes might be undertaken under one (domestic) roof, utilising a weaver’s wife, children, older married daughters and elderly relations, calling to mind Wild’s description of weekly kersey production.

Source: Northampton Mercury 31.12.1781, p172, col 1. Since each source mentions the quantity of wool on which its figures are based, it is possible to produce some calculations from which to draw comparisons between branches and over time 75 Date Old drapery 1615 4.8d 1702 New drapery (.22) Knitting 20d (.47-.59) 20d (.47-.59) 43.5d (1.26) 56d (.84) (.26) [20:6] 1715 - [250:25] 1719 - 33.75d (.99) [120:60] - [900:100] 1736 19.4d (.24) 33.6d (.66) [30:8] 1781 - (.62) [120:22] - 9.24 - 21.4 Harateens 1781 Tammies Table 4.7 Costs and (persons employed) per pound of wool and [ratios of spinners to weavers/knitters] Whilst not directly comparable, coming from different sources, drawn up for different purposes, these figures suggest a greater ratio of spinners to weavers in the New Draperies, but more labour devoted to finishing in the Old Draperies. Worsted yarn, being spun smoother and tighter than woollen, would be needed in greater quantity, in the sense of more hanks, to a given yardage of fabric. However more of its finished visual character came from the patterns in the weave, rather than the extensive finishing processes of fulling and dressing applied to the Old Draperies. Given that the quality of the yarn was crucial to the quality of a fabric of the New Drapery, with only a minimal degree of finishing, by way of pressing, being applied to most fabrics in this branch, the ratios make sense. A gender balance between the two branches begins to become apparent. Spinners were likely to be women and children; the heavy work of fulling and shearing was almost certainly the preserve of men. On the other hand, before the wool was spun fewer combers appeared to be needed for the New Draperies, than carders for the Old. The combers were likely to be adult males, whilst the carders listed here are girls. While the ratio of male finishers to weavers was higher in the Old Draperies than the ratio of male combers to weavers in the New Draperies, the demand for spinners ensured an increase in the opportunities for female employment. So this listing, as well as illustrating the range of processes involved in 76 the production of Old Draperies, also reflects the family economy of the ‘loom and its dependents’ and, further, furnishes evidence about the sorts of processes which were likely to be undertaken by minors. A transition from Old to New Draperies, therefore, was likely to have a significant impact on manufacturing families. Evidence for the nature of the organisation of production can be found in both occupational decriptors and related descriptions of stock in trade, particularly as detailed in probate inventories and, to a lesser extent, wills. Occupational descriptors found in the Northamptonshire evidence range from the general (weaver) to the specific (tammymaker). Before assumptions are made, however, it is wise to investigate further just what these titles signify. Using ‘marker’ items from probate records it becomes possible to identify more clearly what an early modern Northamptonshire individual might understand by these occupational terms, and also to comprehend the variety of industrial organisation, working practices and status included within a single term. In order to explore the local situation, both individual items and the association of items listed within individual probate records have been taken as indicators of the contemporary definitions of occupational descriptors. Seventy two inventories survive for textile workers including sufficient detail for analysis.123 In addition, twenty seven testators left wills sufficiently detailed to allow useful inferences to be drawn at a supplementary level. The marker items were chosen as follows: Ownership of raw wool suggests independence and an involvement in sorting; mention of combs or a combshop indicates combing activity on the premises; the listing of yarns once again indicates ownership and therefore a degree of independence, while the presence of chains of warp presupposes an intention to deliver them out to weavers, on or off the premises. The listing of one or more looms suggests weaving was taking place, or had in the past taken place on the premises. Completed pieces are evidence of ownership and independence. Equipment for a range of finishing processes was included in the analysis to determine how frequently finishing was undertaken by general 123 Of these, four had no designated occupation and I am grateful to Dr Terry Waterfield for drawing them to my attention. Transcripts of these inventories appear in Appendix 1. 77 entrepreneurs, while any mention of materials ‘put out’ was evidence for industrial organisation patterns. The following table shows a numerical analysis of the marker items appearing in the inventories. The total number of testators belonging to each occupation is given, followed by the number of inventories containing one or more of the marker items. Obviously, where appraisers have included only general descriptions such as ‘goods in the shop’, there is nothing to count, but the fact that an item is not mentioned does not necessarily mean that it was not there. Conclusions can be drawn only from the presence of markers therefore, and not from their omission. The table demonstrates the range of activities which may have been undertaken by each occupation.

Source: Northampton and Peterborough probate inventories. 78 From this evidence it would seem that the sergemakers had the most comprehensive control over stages of manufacturing, with markers for eight stages mentioned, five of those stages occurring among the majority of sergemakers counted. A sergemaker, then, was likely to be an entrepreneur, in control of most of the manufacturing processes, either on his own premises, or put out. A minority of woolcombers and weavers had a similarly broad scope with seven each. There is no evidence of any weaver putting out work, or having chains of warp in the workshop ready to be put out, though at least 16 of the 43 possessed the equipment to make up their own warps. Whilst it is unsafe to assume that there was no work put out simply because the inventories show no evidence of it, it would appear likely that those designated as weavers were either independent ‘small masters’ (9 out of 43 weavers’inventories listed wool in their possession, and only 6, yarn), or journeymen working on their own looms with yarn put out to them. At least two of the combers were putting out work, compared with one sergemaker. Too few inventories survive for more than tentative conclusions to be drawn, but other evidence (see remarks on implied hierarchies by parish constables of Kilsby and Long Buckby in drawing up their Militia Lists, Chapter 5, p.?) supports the possibility that some woolcombers operated in much the same way as sergemakers. Although sergemakers were apparently engaging with the greatest number of manufacturing stages, there is no evidence for any sergemaker taking control of any finishing processes within his own workshops. Finishing, be it fulling and shearing or hot pressing, seems to have been a selfcontained occupation. Sadly, no dyers’ inventories have survived to yield such information. There is a single woolcomber’s inventory, however, which mentions a copper and an alum tub which just might imply ‘dyeing in the wool’ before spinning.124 Clothiers were not common in Northamptonshire. In Yorkshire the term was commonly used for small, independent, textile producers, and, as yeomen clothiers, for the later entrepreneurial putters out in the worsted industry.125 In the West Country, the clothier was generally an employer of some substance and status. Mann 124 NRO Peterborough Wills: Inventory of Henry Wingfield senior of Peterborough, woolcomber and fellmonger, 13.10.1716. 125 Hudson, "Manor to mill." 78 refers to the gentlemen clothiers of Gloucestershire and the Wiltshire clothiers who served as magistrates.126 Only one clothier’s inventory survives for Northamptonshire: that of John Sanders of Wellingborough, dated 1738 and valued at less than £40.127 It lists a wide variety of fabrics, in odd yardages, suggestive of the stock of a draper’s shop rather than the finished goods of a textile producer. Such items as children’s stockings and buttons reinforce this impression, while the parcel of pins and quantity of thread may have been destined for the local lace industry. Taking all of the Northamptonshire sources consulted, there are references to a total of 36 clothiers. Of these, 23 are single references to individuals. Of the 13 with references in more than one source, nine have an alternative occupational descriptor. One of these appears as a clothier or sergemaker, while eight are described as clothiers or drapers. This suggests some ambiguity in the county over whether the clothier was seen as a manufacturer or a distributor. Either way, the clothier does not appear to be a leading figure in the Northamptonshire industry. Occupational descriptors including named fabrics may be misleading. While few inventories list fabrics by name, those that do suggest that sergemakers, for example, were unlikely to confine themselves to the production of serge. Sam Richards’s workshop, at his death in 1709, contained a considerable quantity of shalloons and only 8 yards of cloth serge. The remark concerning the move from serge to shalloon production quoted at the beginning of Chapter 1 comes to mind here. The survival of the term ‘sergemaker,’ even after the move to other products perhaps indicates the significance of the introduction of serge-making, marking the arrival of the New Draperies as a new phase in textile manufacturing in Northamptonshire. John Thurlby, in 1716 had a separate morine shop within his premises; Edward Gill in 1723 left pieces of tammy and both tammy and shalloon chains; Sam Harlock in 1773 left figured pieces, tammy pieces and double pieces. All of these men were described as sergemakers. The only jerseyweaver’s inventory to survive, that of William Pridmore in 1738, lists stuffs, serges and shalloons. The evidence provided by wills and inventories differs in that inventories present bare information with no indication of testators’ intentions, whilst wills often contain less 126 127 Mann, Cloth industry. NRO Northampton wills, John Sanders, 06.05.1738: will and inventory. 79 detail but sometimes more description ‘I mean the ash loom’128; or personal information, ‘the loom I now work in’129; or intention, ‘also my will is that my son Francis King shall take my apprentice for the remainder of his years yet to come and instruct him in the art or trade of weaver’130. Bald listings in inventories can nevertheless sometimes yield inferential information by the association of items or indications of location.. For example, the inventory of Edward Sparrow of Kettering reveals a house well furnished, indicating high living standards. The testator is described as a sergemaker, but the only tools listed are some warping bars ‘in the farre chamber’ and a loom ‘in the shop’, surrounded by coal, a wheelbarrow, and other unrelated items, suggesting that the production of textiles is no longer a going concern in this house, the loom and warping bars representing just the detritus of an earlier career, washed up in the unregarded corners of the property.131 Inventories and wills were explored for further evidence of working practices. Examples of evidence concerning working practices do not imply that all weavers or sergemakers worked in the same manner, but do put some flesh on the bones of the processes described above. Sam Harlock, a sergemaker who died in 1773, left an inventory of goods which were associated with every stage of production from raw wool to completed pieces.132 The itemisation of his ‘sorting board and partitions for wool’ gives a vivid picture of this first and most important procedure in textile production. The inventory of Sam Richards, a sergemaker, in 1709 lists ‘chains warpt and unwarpt’ suggesting that in Northamptonshire ‘chains’ referred to warp yarn which would have been measured to the required length by winding between a pair of warping bars (also listed)133. Another sergemaker, John Thurlby’s inventory in 1716 lists ‘chains warpt and on the bobbins’ which must have been the next stage in the process, before the warp was put into the loom.134 Weaver John Matthew’s will in 1751 bequeaths looms and a twisting mill, suggesting that he prepared his own yarns for weaving by doubling and twisting them in his own workshop.135 William March, also a weaver, in 1783 left four looms and a warping mill for making up his own 128 NRO Northampton wills, John Gunnill, 30,10,1731: will NRO Peterborough wills, John Eddings, 06.01.1783: will 130 NRO Peterborough wills, Thomas King sen., 26.03.1771: will 131 NRO Northampton wills, Edward Sparrow, 28.08.1741: will; 11.07.1741: inventory 132 NRO Northampton wills, Samuel Harlock, 17.03.1773: will; 11.03.1773: inventory 133 NRO Northampton wills, Samuel Richards, 04.10.1709: inventory 134 NRO Peterborough wills, John Thurlby, 14.05.1716: inventory 135 NRO Northampton wills, John Matthew, 20.09.1762: will 129 80 warps, but although he is described as a weaver, he also left ‘shaving, bleeding and toothdrawing implements’ – clearly a man of many parts.136 His neighbour Arthur Bland, another weaver, left a wife and at least one daughter and three sons, some of them minors, in 1790.137 In his House (i.e. hall) there was a spinning wheel, and in the Parlour, a jersey reel, while his workshop contained three looms and a quill wheel. It is tempting to visualise his wife and perhaps his daughter, spinning and reeling yarn within the living accommodation while he and his sons worked in the shop, with perhaps the youngest winding weft for the shuttles on the quill wheel. Conclusion From the evidence reviewed here, it would appear that Northamptonshire products served a fairly narrow segment of the market for worsteds, but there was some variety of production within that branch, together with some manufacture of other fibres and mixes. Serge and then shalloons may have been the initial ice-breakers on the New Drapery front, but a degree of diversification evidently took place over time. It is apparent that there was a mix of industrial organisation in the county, not clearly defined by the occupational descriptors used. Entrepreneurial activity is most frequently associated with sergemakers, but some woolcombers controlled a similarly wide spectrum of production stages. The occupation of clothier is relatively rare in the county and the evidence of the single surviving inventory suggests the term may be understood in Northamptonshire in the sense of a cloth merchant, draper or wholesaler. The term weaver can be seen to cover both independent masters with a number of looms and facilities for preparing their own yarn within the household and those with a single loom or no loom at all and no apparent ownership of materials. There is some evidence for dual occupation, or part-time manufacturing in some occupational descriptors, and in the detail of goods contained in probate records relating to male textile workers. Entrepreneurs would have been drawn to those who had an alternative, if insufficient, source of income or subsistence, particularly in villages where few other employment opportunities existed to offer competitive wages. On the other hand, some individuals, taking notice of the spread of 136 137 NRO Northampton wills, William March, 23.04.1792: will NRO Northampton wills, Arthur Bland, 07.10.1790: inventory 81 manufacturing, may have regarded the acquisition of weaving or combing skills as a good investment towards the family’s independence where minimal capital outlay could bring a small weekly return to augment the income from a few sheep, or a spot of dentistry. The participation of women and children may have been largely invisible, but given the ratio of spinning to weaving discussed earlier, not to mention bobbin winding and other tasks suited to small hands, that participation must have been substantial. Here is part of the answer at least to the question of where the extra productive capacity came from when output rose so dramatically in the early eighteenth century. The producers were already there for the most part, doing other things, or nothing much, just needing a little persuasion or encouragement to reassess the time allocation of their lives. 82 Chapter 5 The nature and extent of the Northamptonshire industry during the Militia List period. In the last chapter, the evidence from probate records threw valuable light on the scope of textile occupations in Northamptonshire. It also identified products and uncovered aspects of working practices. However, those records form too small a sample, spread over too long a time period, to build a full picture of the shape and scale of the county industry. This present chapter will take a more detailed look at a restricted time period, using data from the Militia Lists, augmented with those from other sources of the same period, notably probate again, items from the Northampton Mercury and fire insurance policies. In effect it will take a snapshot of the industry at a point in time when the industry was probably at its height, using the comprehensive scope of the Militia List data to ensure visibility of adult male textile workers across the social spectrum. A cross-section of the working population of the county at this time will reveal the contours of the industry, with an opportunity to estimate production levels and throw additional light on working practices, industrial organisation and status. The publication of the 1777 lists for the whole county (excepting Peterborough and the Nassaburgh Hundred), have made possible a comparison with other occupations, thus placing textiles into the economic context of the county. Without Victor Hatley’s patient transcription, indexing and analysis, such a comparison would have been too time-consuming for this study.138 Size of the industry. Determining the size of the industry enables judgements to be made both on the importance of textiles within the Northamptonshire economy and the significance of the county’s production at a national level. Data from the Militia Lists have been used to form a base on which to calculate the total number of people involved in the industry. A single year’s lists were used to arrive at a figure representing a specific point in time, rather than determining the total number of individuals appearing over 138 V Hatley, Northamptonshire Militia Lists, 1777, vol. 25, Publications of the Northamptonshire Record Society (Kettering, 1973). 83 several years. The year 1777 was chosen for its value in comparing occupations as mentioned above. The disadvantage of choosing this year was the number of industrial villages for which no occupations were listed. However, there is relatively little variation in totals from 1774 to 1777 where figures survive for both lists, so the 1774 occupation figures were substituted for the missing 1777 ones to achieve a more accurate figure than Hatley’s for the totals involved in textile manufacture.139 By adding up the figures for weavers, woolcombers, framework knitters, dyers, manufacturers and sergemakers in all the 1777 lists, then adding the substituted 1774 figures for Desborough, West Haddon, Wilbarston, Braunston and Harringworth, the total of 1,629 was reached. To this figure was added a percentage for those workers above the Militia age limit140 and those, such as apprentices, the poor and infirm etc. for whom occupations are sometimes omitted. In order to establish a reasonable percentage to add, the Kettering marriage registers were compared with the Kettering Militia List. A total of 196 names with textile occupations appear in the Kettering list for 1777. Matching names with the marriage registers revealed 67 ‘textile’ bridegrooms from the previous ten years who appear only in earlier lists or not at all, suggesting that they were too old to be included, or among the poor or infirm who may have been omitted. Allowing for perhaps half of these to be dead by 1777, and of those still alive, perhaps 20 still in active work but ‘past age’ this gave a figure of roughly10%. Using this percentage gives a total of 1,791 for adult male textile workers engaged in manufacturing in 1777. A multiplier was then needed to reach an estimate of the number of ‘invisible’ spinners, doublers, bobbin-winders etc. mostly made up of women and children to add to that total. The figures for ratios of occupations quoted in the previous chapter were revisited. On this occasion, instead of taking the totals for spinners and weavers only, all the occupations listed were assigned to gender-based headings as follows: 139 Hatley, Militia lists. The age limits, it may remembered, for the Militia, were 18 – 45 years. There are occasional instances of a name on a list being scored out with the comment ‘past age’ This was presumably the result of an appeal by a man over the age of 45 who had been included in error. Ballot lists ref Glennie discuss in Chap 3 140 84 The Weavers True Case141 Men Women/girls Boys 100 weavers 4 sorters 4Turners of twisting mill 10 pickers 900 spinners 12 bobbin winders 20 combers 4 thread makers 12 back throw winders 4 throwers 50 quill boys 50 doublers 5 warpers 6 dyers 6 pressers Totals 201 908 78 Adding together the totals for women and boys, gives a ratio of 201:986, which is roughly 1:5. As a check on this result, the figures from John Haynes’ Great Britain’s Glory, though less detailed, were treated in the same way:142 Men Women Boys 7 combers 250 spinners [1?] dyer 20 throwers and doublers 25 weavers and attendance…………………..[?25] Totals 53 250 [?25] The same calculation gives a ratio of perhaps 53:275 – not very far off 1:5 again. Figures from the same source for framework knitting look like this: Men Women Boys 10 combers 120 spinners [1] dyer 12 doublers and throwers 60 stocking weavers 83 120 This ratio of 83:120 works out at around 1:1.5. 141 142 Rey, Weavers' true case. Haynes, Great Britain's Glory. 85 Since there were many more weavers than framework knitters in the county a multiplier of 5 was used, giving a total of 8,955 for women and children engaged in the textile industry. Added to the adult males this gave a total of 10,746 for the entire textile workforce. This total is very high compared with Donaldson’s estimate of 5,000 – 6,000 hands in Kettering and its neighbourhood at the beginning of the French wars, but it is unclear how much of the county he was including in Kettering and its neighbourhood143and whether he counted women and children. This represents a substantial proportion of the county’s population. There is no comprehensive population data for the county at this period. (The total population recorded in the 1801 census: 131,525 persons, is likely to be considerably greater than the total for 1777). A total of 13,741 men are listed in 1777. Of these, with the substitution of missing textile occupations as shown above, 1,629 may be identified with textiles, a percentage of 11.85. Assuming a similar proportion of male and female inhabitants in the county, a multiplier of 4.5 for spinners (leaving children out of the equation) to male textile workers, would make perhaps half the total female population dependent to some degree on textiles. A comparison with Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, using the data from the 1844 Felkin frame census looks something like this: Allowing for a ratio of 1 comber to 6 framework knitters Leicestershire: 18,558 frames/knitters + 3,093 combers = 21,651 male hosiery workers out of a population (in 1841) of 213,867, or roughly 10% Nottinghamshire: 11,333 frames/knitters + 1,889 combers = 13,222 male hosiery workers out of a total population (in 1841) of 249,910, or roughly 5%. Since the ratio of spinners to knitters was considerably lower for knitwear than worsteds, the proportion of women employed in textiles was likely to have been considerably lower in these two counties than in Northamptonshire. These figures are only estimates which cannot be checked objectively. In particular, the ‘invisible’ spinners, bobbin-winders and the like were doubtless spread over a much wider age range than the Militia listed males and may have been employed on a 143 J.Donaldson GeneralView of the Agriculture of the County of Northampton…Dundee, 1794, p.10. 86 more occasional basis than their male counterparts. Nevertheless, by the second half of the eighteenth century it is clear that textile production was a significant sector in the county economy. Production levels Absolute figures for the extent of the industry, in terms of production, are difficult to come by. However, a simple calculation of the total number of persons engaged in some aspect of wool textile manufacture forms a basis from which to calculate potential levels of production. There is too little surviving evidence for real production figures. Though costings are a minefield of contradictory information, it is possible to reach a rough figure for the contribution of textiles to the county economy. As calculated by “A Practical Weaver” around 1719, 12lb of long wool would employ 11.87 people for a week.144 Costings quoted in the Northampton Mercury in 1781/2 suggest approximately 12lb of long wool would make one piece of tammy,145 which would cost about 29s to produce (without the cost of the raw wool).146 Assuming 10,746 people in the Northamptonshire textile industry, at 11.87 workers per tammy, they could produce 905 tammies per week, not far from Kettering’s estimated shalloon production at over a thousand pieces a week, quoted earlier,147 (see Chapter 1. p4.). These would put £1,313 per week into the local economy, or, given 50 weeks production a year (admittedly an optimistic estimate), £65,650 per annum. These figures are based on the production of tammies, which are increasingly in evidence as the century progresses 144 The Weaver’s true Case, or, the wearing of Printed Calicoes and Linen destructive of the Woollen and Silk Manufacture, written by a practical weaver. n.d. Although there is no publication date for this pamphlet, since it argues for legislation against calicoes, it was probably written before the Calico Act of 1721. 145 For a glossary of fabric types, please see Appendix 2. 146 Northampton Mercury, 14th January 1782, p.177, col.4. “Letter from a Manufacturer of Long Wool”. 147 Short essay. 87 The only evidence so far found to compare values of tammies and shalloons lies in the probate inventory of Edward Gill, a sergemaker of Kettering who died in 1723.148 His appraisers valued 7 shalloon chains and woofs at £8.15.0 [£8.75] and 3 tammy chains and woofs at £2.13.0 [£2.65], or £1.5.0 [£1.25] and 17/8d [c.88p] each, respectively.149The price for weaving a piece of shalloon may be calculated from the valuations in Samuel Richards’ 1709 inventory in which a finished piece works out at 33s [£1.65] while a piece “at the weavers” i.e. valued as chain and woof, works out at 25s [£1.25].150 So, in 1709, presumably the weaver was paid 8s [40p] for his work. (12s [60p] is the figure suggested for weaving in The Weaver’s True Case.) This is a long way from the 29s production cost of a tammy, but it must be remembered that the tammy costing included all processes from the raw wool, not just the weaving. (A further consideration is the 60-year difference in costing dates.) Plates 5-8 show examples of pattern-book samples of shalloon, shag, tammy and harrateen, the latter is shown with a watered finish on two swatches and an embossed finish on the other two – the nearest that most Northamptonshire fabrics came to a pattern. 148 NRO, Northampton wills, Edward Gill, 02.11.1723: inventory 149 A chain was the warp yarn, measured and set up, ready to be mounted on a loom; woof was the weft yarn, sufficient to complete a piece on the warp provided.

To arrive at an idea of the significance of textile occupations within the county a raw total of numbers involved, in isolation, is of little use. The total expressed as a percentage of the total occupations within the county will mean more, and that percentage, placed against percentages for other occupations, will bring out even more clearly the position of the industry. For the purposes of this exercise the totals for 1777 will be used unadjusted, since a broad picture is all that is needed and villages with missing occupations will be likely to reduce totals of all occupations to some extent, leaving comparisons still broadly valid. Comparing the percentage of textile workers with the next most widespread industrial occupation in Northamptonshire, shoemaking, gives an idea of the relative standing of each industry within the county. For an indication of employment in agriculture, the totals of servants and labourers listed, (assuming them to be for the most part servants in husbandry and agricultural labourers), were added to those of farmers and their sons. Against the sum of these totals, the scale of the textile and shoemaking industries can be seen in perspective. In comparing the totals for textiles and agriculture the invisibility of a considerable portion of the workforce must also be borne in mind. The women and children who spun, reeled and wound may also, in due season, have weeded, harvested, sheared and bird-scared. An inability to count them should not blind us to their existence. Table 5.1 shows the percentage of 18-45 year old males across the county (where occupations were stated) in the 1777 Militia Lists, engaged in wool textiles, shoemaking and agriculture. 93 WOOL TEXTILES SHOEMAKING AGRICULTURE 12.1 5.9 54.3 Table 5.1. Selected employment sector percentages in Northamptonshire Militia lists, 1777. Source: NRO Militia Lists 1777. Agriculture occupied the majority, but textiles were the next largest sector, occupying more than twice as many as boot and shoe. Together, these three sectors made up more than seventy percent of county occupations. As a comparison, we might look at similar figures for Hertfordshire. Paul Glennie has made a study of the Hertfordshire Militia Lists and the following analysis is based on his figures from the 1778 lists151. To make the sectors as directly comparable with Northamptonshire as possible, some adjustments have been made to his classifications. The total for agriculture was arrived at by adding totals for: farmer, yeoman, husbandman, shepherd, labourer (rural parishes) and servants (unspecified, as opposed to household). The last two groups probably overestimate the extent of agricultural involvement somewhat, but possibly rather less so than the Northamptonshire totals, where all servants and labourers have been included. Table 3.2 shows the percentages of each sector for both counties. TEXTILES (%) SHOEMAKING (%) AGRICULTURE (%) Northamptonshire 12.9 5.9 54.3 Hertfordshire 0.8 2.3 47.9 Table 5.2. Comparison of selected employment sectors in Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. 1777-8 Sources: Northamptonshire CRO Militia Lists, 1777 for Northamptonshire: Glennie, p93-95, for figures from Militia Lists, 1778 for Hertfordshire (Hertfordshire CRO) The economy of Northamptonshire is clearly more dependent on these three sectors than that of Hertfordshire and the significance of Northamptonshire textiles (here including flax dressing and lace) stands out even more clearly in the contrast between the two. 151 Glennie, Trades. 94 The pattern of production. How much light do the Militia List occupations throw on the sort of textiles being produced in 1777? What were the 1,065 weavers weaving at this time? Twenty-one flax dressers and nine hemp dressers were undoubtedly processing the raw materials for linen or sackcloth, but they were hugely outnumbered by the 289 woolcombers. This large total can be contrasted with the total absence of fullers. If Northamptonshire could not support even one fuller, then the noil waste and any other short staple wool produced in the county was presumably exported elsewhere for making up into blankets or other woollen cloth. The three silk weavers or knitters in the 1777 Militia Lists suggest an insignificant silk industry at this stage, or the remains of an earlier connection with Norwich. John Jordan was popularly supposed to have introduced textiles to Kettering from Norwich, where Norwich Stuffs characteristically combined silk and worsted yarns.152 Only two mentions of stuffs have so far been found in Northamptonshire for the eighteenth century, both of them probably implying simply fabrics made of combed wool rather than the Norwich sort. (John Sumpter’s probate inventory, taken at Great Oxendon in Rothwell Hundred in 1739 includes £48 worth of “stuffs, linsey and other goods” in the shop and 8 pieces of tammy with furniture and other items in the house.153 This woolcomber, who had 4 looms in his weaving shop, was evidently a versatile entrepreneur.) An advertisement in the ‘Northampton Mercury’ in 1783, addressed to ‘the Gentlemen Tradesmen in the Stuff Manufactory’ seems to be making the distinction between ‘worsted’ as a fabric and ‘worsted’ as a yarn.154 There seem to have been a number of individuals in Kettering, however, moving between the production of silk and serge. (See below under Industrial organisation, table5.3) In addition to fabrics, large quantities of stockings must have been produced by the 90 framework knitters. Not so many, however, as to overwhelm the single hosier listed in the county. The presence of the nearby Leicestershire hosiers must be remembered however, and the tendency for many framework knitters to be located close to the Watling Street also suggests a relationship with Hinckley hosiers. There may also be 152 J.Morton. Natural history of Northamptonshire, 1712. 153 NRO, Northampton will, John Sumpter, 23.06.1739. Northampton Mercury, 10th May, 1783, p.43, col.1. 154 95 a Banbury connection with those at Chacombe and Middleton Cheney. Bearing in mind these connections, the possibility exists that Northamptonshire woolcombers might have been producing jersey for hosiery production beyond the county boundary. This possibility can be explored by revisiting totals for combers and weavers in the county and considering the ratio between them. 1,065 weavers are listed for 1777, and 289 combers, giving a ratio of 1:3.6. This compares with figures from eighteenth century writers quoted earlier ranging from 1:3.5 to 1:5 for combers to weavers and 1:6 for combers to knitters. It would be hard to argue from these figures for any significant export of combed wool from Northamptonshire to the Leicestershire or Banbury hosiers.(See distribution map 5.3). Sources for information on Northamptonshire fabrics at this period extend from the Militia Lists where we find sergemakers, harrateen makers, plush and shag weavers, to the probate records, which contain evidence for tammies, morines (moreens), and figured pieces, and to miscellaneous items in the Northampton Mercury. Here we find, for example, an advertisement from Henry Knight, a weaver in Spratton appealing for information regarding an absconded apprentice. As a reward he offers ‘one lasting thrum’, suggesting he is a producer of everlastings. (Payment in kind rather than cash – is this a reflection of the transitional stage to a wholly money economy in rural Northamptonshire?) Coincidentally the boy is described as wearing ‘a brown cloth coat and red and white everlasting waistcoat’155. So, within one news item we have an example of a producer and also an example of the use to which his product might be put. There are further examples of the term being abbreviated to ‘lasting’, including one in another newspaper advertisement, showing a further use for the fabric, where in 1771 a shoemaker offers ‘ Women’s superfine lasting and callimanco shoes and pumps, as good as bespoke, at 4s 3d a pair, common ditto 3s 6d.’156This item draws attention to the fact that not all shoemakers worked in leather; shoe tops, particularly for women, were frequently made from coloured and patterned textiles at this period. There are also seven manufacturers of ‘tammies and lastings’ listed for Kettering in Bailey’s British Directory for 1784157 155 Northampton Mercury 20.04.1767 p18 col3. NM29.04.1771 157 Bailey’s British Directory 1784 vol2 p381. 156 96 In 1778 Thomas Sabin, tammy weaver, woolcomber and farmer, went bankrupt and the sale of his effects was advertised in the Mercury These included : …forty pieces of fine, superfine and strong Broad and Narrow Tammies and Antiloons; five Looms, forty neat Gears and Slays; thirty Todd of Wool, thirty Doz. Of Jersey and Yarn, Comb-pots and Combs…. 158 If the typesetter dropped a C, Sabin probably made cantiloons which were made from a mix of dyed yarn in warp and weft. (see glossary in Appendix 2). This has echoes in a later item, in 1783, when a Long Buckby weaver eloped, allegedly, with another man’s wife, who ‘had on when she went away a darkish mix’d tammy gown’.159 These are two examples of unpatterned worsted fabrics made more colourful and appealing to the market by the use of multicoloured threads in the weaving. Taken together, the sources for this period contain evidence for nine different varieties of worsteds, namely cantiloons, figured pieces (possibly callimancoes), harateen, lasting, moreen, plush, serge, shag and tammy. In Chapter 7 we shall compare this range with earlier production to assess the degree of diversification which may have taken place over time. Working practices and Industrial organisation. There is only one clothier in evidence in 1777 and five manufacturers, with no indication of what they manufactured. Since it has been established that the designation ‘sergemaker’ indicates status rather than product, an analysis of the changing occupations of Kettering manufacturers and sergemakers is interesting. 158 159 NM 06.04.1778 p3 col 2.

There would seem to be a natural progression in many cases from sergemaker to manufacturer, though the two terms may have been interchangeable. The progress of the Buswells is particularly interesting, introducing the element of sorting in preparation for becoming a sergemaker. John Buswell’s brief stint as a draper may be a further indication of the blurring of distinctions between drapers, clothiers and sergemakers in Northamptonshire, but it also raises the possibility of some form of cooperation in a kinship economy, which will be further examined in Chapter 6 98 This table is a brilliant illustration of the unique value of the Northamptonshire Militia List series. Not only does a single year offer a unique cross-section of the entire workforce from top to bottom, but succeeding years reveal variations of occupation indicating diversification or changing status within the industry, in many cases a working up through the ranks, by way of weaving or sorting, to the role of manufacturer. Further down the occupational scale, it is more difficult to distinguish relationships between weavers and combers. However, the parish clerk of Kilsby was good enough to list his men in a highly illuminating fashion – by occupation, with the farmers’ sons at the head of the list and the labourers at the end. In between are ranked the Master Combers and their journeymen, with other tradesmen between them and the Master Weavers and then, below the shoemakers, the journeymen weavers. Kilsby parish clerk’s ordering of his list hints at his perception of the relative importance of the trades in his village. This is echoed in Long Buckby, where once again men are listed in occupation order, though in this instance without any differentiation between master and journeyman. Once again, the combers are listed before the weavers. We have already seen the example of John Sumpter, the woolcomber whose weaving shop and four looms were listed in his probate inventory in 1739 (see above, p31). The position of the Master Combers in the organisation of the industry may be further illustrated by a will dating from half way between that inventory and the 1777 List. William Facer, a comber in West Haddon, died in 1757. Apparently unmarried, he was young enough to leave bequests to both his parents, as well as to brothers and nephews. He left money for two funeral sermons and further sums to his brothers, servant and apprentice expressly to buy mourning, suggesting that he considered himself to have some status within his community. He must have been a master craftsman, since he had an apprentice. He also left money to the poor of five parishes “who used to spin for me”, indicating some entrepreneurial activity. Two of the parishes concerned were at some distance from his home, at Hardingstone and Boughton. There was little obvious male textile activity at either in 1777, but there 99 was a wool stapler at Hardingstone, from whom he may have obtained his raw materials. If he returned home via Northampton, his road could have taken him through Boughton. There is no evidence within the will for any putting out of yarn to weavers, but the mention of the spinners establishes his position as an independent man of business, rather than a tradesman combing wool ‘put out’ to him by a clothier.160 Two other occupations point to a possible reason for the apparently lower status of the weavers, and perhaps offer another clue to the nature of industrial organisation at the time of the Militia lists. There were twelve woolstaplers listed in 1777 and a similar number of sorters. By sorting wool finely into grades suitable for particular kinds of fabric, there was less need for a highly skilled, versatile body of weavers with a stock of different gears and slays with which to set up their looms for the production of a range of different fabrics. A weaver could set up more cheaply with only a single set of gears and slays, and trained in the production of a single kind of fabric, if he was being supplied with a consistent grade of yarn to weave just that fabric. If these less skilled weavers took on apprentices to pass on their limited expertise, their status might well fall below that of the entrepreneurial combers. But Master weavers, employing their own journeymen and apprentices, rather than putting work out, might resent this loss of status for their trade. Hence perhaps two agreements, concluded in 1783 and1784 respectively by an un-named body in Rothwell and a Society of Weavers in West Haddon, reported by the Northampton Mercury. They were both concerned that no apprentice should serve less than seven years (surely unnecessary for someone just expected to turn out shalloon, or tammy, year in, year out) and also that no Master should have more than one apprentice at a time, “for the good of the trade”.161 ROWELL in the County of Northampton May 10th 1783 Information is hereby given to the Gentlemen Tradesmen in the Stuff manufactory in particular and to the weavers of stuff in general, that Articles have ben entered into, and mutually signed by the consent of the Master Tradesmen in the Stuff Manufactory of the Towns of Rothwell and Desborough, and a respectable body of weavers of the said town of Rowell – it being considered as an Infringement to the Trade for anyone to follow the same without a legal Right thereto. Therefore these Articles set forth 160 161 Northampton Wills, William Facer, 19.03.1757. Northampton Mercury, 10th May 1783 and15th November 1784 100 that no Person shall hereafter take any lad apprentice for a less term of time than seven years upon pain of forfeiting FIVE POUNDS and incurring the Master’s displeasure of being discharged in work immediately. Gentlemen, in hopes of future benefit arising therefrom the Favour of all whom it may concern is humbly requested not to give Encouragement to any Persons so illegally taking apprentices. - Notice is hereby given to the public in general and hope it will meet with its approbation in every parish, for the good of the Trade:Whereas an Agreement was made and concluded on the 14th day of November 1784, by a SOCIETY OF WEAVERS of the parish of West Haddon, in the County of Northampton (as follows) That no Master, nor Man, shall, after this public notice teach or cause to be instructed, in the art of weaving, for no less a time than seven years, which said apprentice, or any other man that shall come to reside in the parish aforesaid shall make Oath what Master he served his time with, and in case it is found that he or they have not served a regular apprenticeship, any Master who shall employ such a person, then such a Member or Members, shall leave the said Master and shall have 6s a week till such time that he or they can get employment of another Master – And no man to have more than one Apprentice at a a time , Witness our hands Roger Facer Richard Hall Edward Cave George Newton Thomas Facer Thomas Parnell William Page By this means the weavers of these parishes presumably hoped to cut out competition from less skilled tradesmen undercutting their prices. At the time of the Militia Lists, sergemakers are concentrated in Kettering and its immediate hinterland. There are earlier instances in Corby Hundred villages, in Wellingborough and Northampton and just one of that profession in Harlestone, but these are all concentrated in the first two decades of the eighteenth century. No evidence has been found for a sergemaker west of Harlestone. The status of woolcombers in Kilsby and Long Buckby Militia Lists, and the evidence for 101 entrepreneurial activity appearing in the inventory of John Sumpter in Great Oxendon, and the will of William Facer in West Haddon fuels the suspicion that there may be more than one model of industrial organisation in operation in the county, and that in the West of the county there was a class of Master Combers of a similar status to the Kettering sergemakers. Other items in the local newspaper shed some fragments of light on the way the industry was organised. In 1773 there was a change of venue, as a market for “the YARN and part of the TAMMY TRADE” in Market Harborough, just over the county boundary, from the White Hart to the sign of the Sun.162 A new market was also set up in Daventry, at the Wheatsheaf, in 1784, “there to buy and sell jersey yarn, pieces &c.”163 and in 1796 the Kettering Yarn Market was moved from the Duke’s Arms to the Saracen’s Head.164 (Neither of these Kettering inns are recorded as meeting places for the manufacturers of Kettering – they seem to have preferred the White Hart quite consistently. Was there some antagonism between the putters out and the independent producers, or did they simply move in different social circles? The Northampton Mercury offers no information on this matter. Neither, sadly, does it throw any light on any possible relationship between Mr Peach, who kept the Saracen’s Head, and the Peach family of Northampton, woolstaplers and woolmen for a century, from 1720 to 1821.)165 All these notices suggest an active local market for small scale trading between independent combers, spinners and weavers, in addition to the larger, putting-out manufacturers controlling their own materials through all stages of production. There were also it seems some larger scale employers concentrating on one aspect of the industry. In 1785, Messrs Avery & Co., dyers of Northampton, advertised their services to “their friends in the country”, collecting and delivering work fortnightly at markets in Olney (Bucks), Towcester, Daventry, Stony Stratford (Bucks), Market Harborough (Leics), Wellingborough, Kettering and Newport (Bucks). Two years 162 Northampton Mercury, 8th November 1773 163 Northampton Mercury, 17th May 1784 164 Northampton Mercury, 30th January 1796 165 See Appendix 102 later, Thomas Robinson, of Long Buckby, advertised a yarn making business “that employs twelve spinning houses in twelve different towns; takes in near 40 gross a week from 2lb 8oz to 4lb 8oz perhaps to as great perfection as any this county produces and other yarn that will employ 8 or 10 combers…”166 A group of harrateen makers in Cold Ashby and neighbouring villages advertised in 1793 for a number of woolcombers and apprentices “who may meet with constant employment, on good wool” to supply their businesses. Of this group, Mr Thomas Butlin of Cold Ashby, and Mr E Butlin of Hollowell, may have been related to the Thomas Butlin of Ravensthorpe who was listed as a harrateen maker in the 1777 Militia List – perhaps another instance of the kinship economy expanding a business over a district. (See Chapter 6). Probate inventories are relatively rare in Northants for the 1770s but there are three which are worth comparing in some detail for the light they shed on working practices and products at this time. Richard Timson was a weaver in Wilbarston till he died in 1773167. His appraisers all described themselves as tammy weavers. In his wool chamber they counted four pieces of unspecified fabric, three of them ‘not work’d’. If the fabric were tammy they may not have felt the need to describe it by name, taking it for granted as tammy weavers themselves. ‘Not work’d’ may have meant ‘not calendared’ as tammy was usually given a glossy finish after weaving. His workshop contained wheels, combs, pots, warping bars, soap and oil as well as one loom. His wool chamber contained both raw and combed wool in addition to yarn. This suggests he was an independent craftsman, not dependent on the likes of William Facer for a supply of raw materials, even if he were limited to the production of a single fabric. John Newton’s occupation was not specified when his inventory was taken in September 1774, but he was accorded the title Mr, which was not common.168 He was listed as a weaver in the Militia List for that year. His inventory is as interesting for what it doesn’t contain as for what it does. It begins with ’96 todd of wool’ (this 166 167 168 Northampton Mercury, 13th December 1787 NRO, Peterborough Admon and inventory, Richard Timson, 06.04.1773. NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry Admon and inventory, John Newton, 15.09.1774. 103 would have been over a ton) and an extensive list of wool sortings and yarns. Unfortunately the inventory is not divided up by rooms, but there may have been a comb shop for his combs, comb pots, oil etc. Four moreens are listed, one of them dyed, but although a pound’s worth of gears and slays were listed there was apparently no loom on the premises. Then between the textile items and the household furniture (the dyed moreen and a warping mill are listed with the furniture) appears the apparent contents of a grocer’s shop – counter and shelves, drawers, lump sugar and tea, tobacco, candles, snuff, flour, plums etc. Quantities are not very great, £7 pound’s worth of sugar and tea and just over a pound’s worth of tobacco etc. This raises an interesting question (which cannot be answered from available evidence). Was John Newton engaged in two occupations, as weaver and small scale grocer, or was he, perhaps, running a truck shop for the small weavers working up moreens from his yarns on looms he had not got? Either way it is significant that he was offering consumers the colonial goods (sugar, tea and tobacco) which may have formed part of the motivation for sustained involvement in the money economy. The third inventory lists the goods of a sergemaker in Finedon. Sam Harlock died in 1773 and his inventory is carefully laid out, room by room169. His house was a little larger than the average village house, with some relatively high status furniture. The space devoted to his business included a shop, workshop, wool chamber and washhouse. The most striking contrast with the two foregoing weavers’ inventories is the listing of a variety of fabrics – figured pieces, tammy and double pieces, as well as yarn. Similarly his workshop contained three draft looms (for producing figured work) as well as a tammy loom, and also ‘an engine for winding pieces’ in addition to combs etc. The wool chamber contained wool, a sorting board and partitions for wool. This appears to have been an altogether more comprehensive and sophisticated operation than the other two, supporting the theory put forward in Chapter 4 that sergemakers were putters-out, controlling each stage of the manufacturing process on their own raw materials. Having considered the evidence for a variety of male textile workers, the time has come to investigate female employment in greater detail than a gross estimated figure 169 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry Will and inventory, Samuel Harlock, 17.03.1773. 104 for the proportion of the female population probably working in textiles. Evidence for spinners is confined to records of transgressions such as false reeling and embezzling, so the picture here is tantalisingly incomplete and confined to the end of our period, for reasons to be discussed in Chapter 7. The following notice appeared in the Northampton Mercury in 1785; I, Esther Frost wife of John Frost of Welton in the County of Northampton do acknowledge that I did buy stolen yarn, which was the property of Mr George Ringrose, of the same place, for which (it being my first offence) he has forgiven me, I declaring in this public manner that I am sorry for the offence I have been guilty of, and promising never to do the like again, Witness my hand Esther Frost. This is not just a spinner stealing wool put out to her, but a woman buying stolen yarn, possibly for re-sale, perhaps for use within her own household. Whatever her purpose this is a first glimpse of female possession (albeit illicit) of materials for manufacture. Three Memoranda of Conviction in the Quarter Sessions Rolls for 1789-97 provide further evidence for the role of women in the industry beyond passively spinning the wool put out to them. On 26th November 1789, Mary Penn, wife of Robert Penn of Warmington, blacksmith, was convicted, …for that she being a person employed to put out wool for spinning had in her possession at one or the same time the wool or yarn belonging to two different manufacturers contrary to statute.170 Since it would be impossible to identify combed wool once it was converted to yarn, it was illegal to handle wool belonging to more than one employer, but the surprise is that she has been employed to do the putting out, not the spinning. A few months later, on 8th January 1790, Elizabeth Sturgis of Farndon was convicted of embezzling 170 NRO, Quarter Sessions Rolls 1/535/66, 26.11.1789. 105 a pound of jersey.171 There are other instances of women embezzling yarn recorded in the Quarter Sessions Rolls. Here, the surprise comes in discovering that this particular pound of jersey was the property of Ruth Norman. This is one stage further than Mary. Ruth was not employed to put out someone else’s wool. She had put out her own, and had brought her spinner to book for her misdemeanour. Similarly, in 1797, Sarah Irons of Crick was convicted for ‘false reeling in the skein of some jersey belonging to Sarah Matthew of Crick [my italics]. 172Many questions arise from these scraps. Was it common for women to be employed in putting out? Did Ruth or Sarah buy her wool at market? Did she have her own sheep? (Both Farndon and Crick had been enclosed by this time so there would be no commoning of sheep – did either of them own some grazing land?) Was there enough of a margin between buying wool in small quantities at market and selling the yarn at the same market to leave any sort of profit once the spinner(s) had been paid? These questions cannot be answered from the evidence at hand, but it is sufficient to know that there were at least some women taking an active part in more than a single stage of the industry. (A closer look at the distribution of spinners convicted of false reeling will be undertaken in Chapter 6) Consideration of the stages of production, from raw wool to finished piece, suggests the need for someone to organise ( in modern terms, to project-manage) all these operations. It must be remembered that the different processes were likely to be carried out in a variety of locations, by a number of different tradesmen or women, so that transport had also to be organised. It is therefore entirely understandable that a sergemaker, or master comber, would be keen to cut down on the ‘wool miles’ where he could. One way of achieving this was to have key workers living and working close at hand. There is evidence, from both probate records and insurance policies for sergemakers and other textile producers operating as landlords to textile workers in cottages, frequently described as ‘adjoining’ and in some cases part of the landlord’s subdivided dwelling house. These are not large enterprises; few landlords appear to 171 NRO, Quarter Sessions Rolls 1/535/65, 08.01.1790. 172 NRO, Quarter Sessions Rolls 1/564/20, 22.03.1797. 106 have more than one or two tenants, and not all tenants are textile workers. The properties may simply represent ‘stored’ capital being put to good business use. A search of the particulars of property insured by the Sun Fire Office reveals 42 Northamptonshire textile producers mentioning property in tenancy. 15 of these have at least one tenant who can be identified as a textile worker. John Milton, a Kettering sergemaker, insured the property of four tenants, all weavers, Thomas Warriner of Peterborough, described as a merchant, maltster and woolcomber, had 11 tenants, ranging from a widow to an excise officer and including two combers, while John Gibson of Northampton, a woolcomber and worstedmaker had 13 tenants, but no occupations specified. But these individuals are exceptional. Sam Marriott of Long Buckby with a house in tenure to a weaver and a widow is more typical. Some of the wills contain similar evidence. A survey of those for the 1770s and 80s reveal instances of multiple property ownership and a common feature of most of the sergemakers’ wills at this time is the tendency for tenants of the properties mentioned to be either family members or weavers (or both), suggesting a degree of control over the workforce, or examples of the cooperative kinship economy. James Law, a Rothwell sergemaker, left 4 houses in 1780, one in his own occupation, one apparently untenanted following the death of his father, one occupied by Francis Joyce, or Jeyes, a weaver in the ’77 Militia List, and the other by William Page, a labourer.173 Samuel Tebbutt, also of Rothwell, is described as a sergeweaver rather than a sergemaker, in 1788, but his will is more extensive than Law’s. He leaves two houses in Desborough, each occupied by a weaver, and an unspecified number of houses or cottages in Rothwell, with five tenants, two of whom can be identified as weavers in the Rothwell Militia Lists and one other who bears the same name as a Kettering weaver in the ’74 List.174 In Kettering in 1780, we find Christopher Wilson (a name to return to later), leaving eight houses, two occupied by himself and his son, the other six by two combers and four weavers (mostly identified from the Militia lists but one of the combers, with two Kettering marriage register entries to identify him, 173 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry will, James Law, proved 26.10.1780. 174 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry will, Samuel Tebbutt, proved 22.10.1788. 107 appears to be the father in law of Christopher Wilson’s daughter Susannah – the kinship economy and strategic marriage of offspring?).175 Of the weavers whose wills were proved at this period, only Thomas Archer of Cranford showed no evidence of being a landlord.176 Most of the others left, on average, two properties, one in their own occupation and one occupied by a tenant. It is not always possible to establish the occupation of the tenant, but for these dates the Militia Lists are often helpful. In 1771 Thomas King bequeathed a second property occupied by Francis King, listed as a weaver in 1781, while in 1788 Ben Vaus left his own house and two adjoining ones occupied by John Vaus (weaver, 1774 list) and George Miller (labourer, 1774 list). John Padbury was John Sabin’s tenant in Kilsby, in1779, but his occupation has yet to be traced.177 Earlier examples of this trend can be found in the Sun fire insurance policies. 46 policy holders had tenants of one sort or another, and of those, 14 can be identified as landlords to textile workers, 10 in Kettering, 2 in Long Buckby, 1 in Peterborough and 1 in Braunston. While none of these landlords owned huge amounts of property, the frequency with which textile workers can be identified as tenants suggests that this was a strategy undertaken to address the problem of ‘wool miles’ rather than merely a use of property ownership as a means of storing capital. Conclusions From the evidence of the Militia Lists and contemporary records a picture emerges of a significant, if not huge, industry, producing a range of fabrics by way of both independent small masters and ‘putting-out’ manufacturers, with supporting ‘service industries’ such as dyeing and finishing. The products of the Northamptonshire industry by 1777 were worsteds or jerseys. This is demonstrated by the evidence of the number of combers and the complete absence of fullers in the Militia Lists. For the most part, products appear to be destined for the cheap end of the market. Shalloons in particular were a general 175 177 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry will, Christopher Wilson, proved 14.08.1780. NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry wills: Thomas Archer proved 17.05.1770; Ben Vaus 27.06.1788; John Sabin 05.04.1779; Peterborough wills Thomas King 26.03.1771. 108 purpose light fabric for curtains, working women’s clothing and men’s coat linings. Glossy tammies perhaps had pretensions, but anyone who could have afforded it would have opted for silk. Similarly, the pressed patterns of morines and harrateens may have been showy for soft furnishings, but perhaps only for those who were not able to rise to damask. The use of lastings and callimancoes for shoe-tops suggests a local market for some producers at least, even if the shalloons all went to London. At this end of the market, returns were likely to be small and so labour needed to be cheap. From the perspective of 1777, the industry was a significant employer of both males and females, and the many processes through which the wool had to pass on its way to finished pieces demanded organisation. This appears to have taken several forms. The Kettering sergemakers appear to have controlled their stock throughout all stages of production, putting out to combers, spinners, weavers and dyers and renting out cottages to some, perhaps key, workers. However the evidence of yarn markets points to the existence of small independent producers alongside the sergemakers. Specialist firms served producers in some cases, such as Messrs Avery & Co., Dyers, Thomas Robinson’s yarnmaking business with spinning houses in a dozen villages and the Cold Ashby harrateen makers (see p.38). In the West of the county the sergemakers gave way to master combers who appear to have functioned in much the same way, keeping control of stock through all processes. The industry appears to have made a significant contribution to the county economy. However modern textile historians have regarded Northamptonshire as insignificant. It is already apparent, from militia list evidence, that the industry extended beyond the town of Kettering. Were all the other textile centres in the county merely Kettering’s hinterland? Did the industry spread from Kettering and if so, why? Light can only be shed on this comparatively neglected example of pre-industrial manufacturing by establishing its chronology and distribution and exploring the national and local factors involved in its development and decline. In pursuing this end the experience of this county can be measured against models of industrial location elsewhere. The use of previously neglected evidence from occupational sources such as the Militia lists offers a unique opportunity to understand both urban and rural textile production in the context of the county economy and wider textile developments. 109 Chapter 6 Industrial Location The textile district While the scale of the textile industry, in comparison with agriculture and shoemaking, was established in Chapter 5, no attempt was made at that stage to examine the distribution of the industry within the county. We saw that in 1777 the proportions of occupations across the county as a whole for agriculture, textiles and shoemaking were approximately 51%, 12% and 6% respectively. To understand the location of the textile industry it is now necessary to break down these county totals. In the first instance, comparing totals for each Hundred in the county will begin to identify the textile district as a whole. (See Map 3.1 The Northamptonshire Hundreds). At the county level, the hundred is a more manageable unit for discussion than the parish. Ranking textiles against shoemaking will reveal the existence, or otherwise of a single industrial area within the county. Table 6.1 shows the nineteen Hundreds covered by the 1777 Militia Lists ranked in order of involvement in these two industries. The figures shown are the totals of men in textile or shoemaking occupations as a percentage of all men listed in each Hundred. 110 TEXTILES SHOEMAKING Rothwell 29.5 Hamfordshoe 18.1 Guilsborough 27.3 Spelho 12.9 Huxloe 21.9 Higham Ferrers 8.5 Corby 20.6 Towcester 6.2 Nobottle Grove 14.2 Navisford 5.6 Spelho 10.0 Huxloe 5.5 Fawsley 9.9 Chipping Warden 5.3 Kings Sutton 9.5 Wymersley 4.5 Towcester 9.3 Nobottle Grove 4.5 Orlingbury 9.1 Polebrook 4.0 Chipping Warden 6.1 Willybrook 3.5 Hamfordshoe 5.5 Rothwell 3.4 Willybrook 4.2 Cleyley 3.4 Greens Norton 3.9 Guilsborough 3.3 Cleyley 2.5 Greens Norton 3.2 Wymersley 2.1 Fawsley 3.1 Navisford 1.3 Corby 3.0 Polebrook 0.9 Orlingbury 2.8 Higham Ferrers 0.8 Kings Sutton 2.7 Table 6.1 Hundreds ranked by involvement in textiles and shoemaking, based on percentages of occupations listed in 1777 Militia Lists. Source: Northamptonshire Militia Lists, 1777, with missing occupations substituted from the 1774 Lists It will be seen that the distribution of textiles and shoemaking, whilst overlapping in some hundreds, is essentially quite different. The top five textile hundreds appear in bold, lower down, in some cases much lower down, the shoemaking rankings and vice versa. This would suggest that there is no particular ‘industrial region’ in Northamptonshire at this time, but that the two industries were focused in different parts of the county. To explore the idea further, Table 6.2 shows the nineteen Hundreds of the 1777 Militia Lists with the town of Northampton shown separately from its Hundred of Spelho for clearer comparison. In this instance, agriculture is included as a contrasting employment option. This has been done by excluding 111 farmers, graziers, yeomen etc and confining the agricultural percentage to servants and labourers only. By combining textile and shoemaking percentages and showing an inverted rank order for the ‘industrial’ totals produced against the agricultural rankings, the confusion of scattered textile and shoemaking foci is reduced.

Source: Northamptonshire Militia Lists, 1777, with missing occupations substituted from the 1774 Lists. By setting the combination of shoes and textiles against agriculture, it can be seen that there is clearly a ‘non-industrial’ region in the county, while a ‘tending towards industrial’ core emerges. To understand what is happening in this core, total numbers of textile workers were ranked and divided into quartiles. The same was done for 112 shoemakers and the results are shown on Map 6.1. This shows that while there is an overlap of the two industries, particularly in the top quartile, in Nobottle Grove and Huxloe hundreds, there is also a significant concentration of footwear in Higham Ferrers, a hundred which barely figures at all in textiles, while the textile hundreds of Gulisborough, Rothwell and Corby are rather less important, significantly less in the case of Rothwell, in footwear. Map 6.1. Distribution of textile and footwear industries. Source: Northamptonshire Militia Lists, 1777, with missing occupations substituted from the 1774 Lists. 113 All the top quartile shoemaking hundreds have an urban node – Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Higham Ferrers (except Nobottle Grove, which perhaps looks towards Northampton.) In contrast, the top quartile textile hundreds include only Kettering as an urban node (with perhaps Northampton, via Nobottle Grove, as above), together with three upland hundreds, the first and fourth of which – Guilsborough and Corby, contain no towns at all. Whilst textiles account for only 12.1% of occupations in the county as a whole, suggesting relatively limited significance in the economy, the percentage of textile occupations in what can now be identified as ‘textile hundreds’ is seen to be of considerable significance. Shoemaking shows a restricted range of percentages, suggesting a very general presence throughout the county with perhaps heavier urban concentrations. The range of textile percentages presents a more ‘all or nothing’ character. In hundreds such as Polebrook or Higham Ferrers, textiles hardly appear at all, whilst in Rothwell and Guilsborough, more than a quarter of the listed occupations are textile related. In these areas the textile industry was clearly very significant indeed. The distribution of textile workers Now is the time to look more closely at the textile hundreds and see how the individual textile occupations are distributed within them. For the purposes of this exercise, the numbers of weavers and woolcombers from the 1777 Milita List have been added together, and Table 6.3 shows the hundreds with the largest totals. Guilsborough 304 Rothwell 278 Huxloe 210 Corby 204 Fawsley 113 Nobottle Grove 106 Spelho 90 Table 6.3. Textile Hundreds Source: 1777 Militia List. 114 This looks much like the top of table 6.1, but if Kettering and Northampton are removed from the Huxloe and Spelho totals they cease to look like textile hundreds, with totals of 35 and 48 respectively. The urban ramifications of the industry will be examined below, but first, a closer look at the rural areas points to a degree of specialisation. If the totals for weavers and combers are considered separately and ranked, the existence of combing and weaving hundreds emerges. COMBING WEAVING Guilsborough 78 Rothwell 267 Nobottle Grove 48 Guilsborough 226 Corby 31 Corby 173 Fawsley 25 Fawsley 86 Rothwell 11 Nobottle Grove 45 Table 6.4. Combing and weaving hundreds From these figures Rothwell appears to be the leading weaving hundred, with relatively little involvement in combing, whilst Nobottle Grove almost mirrors Rothwell, at the bottom of the weaving league, but almost top in combing. Guilsborough’s position in combing is due to the presence of Long Buckby in that hundred, by far the most important combing centre in the county. In fact there are aspects of Long Buckby which suggest an entrepreneurial character reminiscent of Kettering. Examination of the urban textile occupations again suggests a degree of specialisation. Along with its quota of combers and weavers, Kettering boasts 5 manufacturers, 5 sergemakers, 3 sorters, a dyer and a woolwinder. Northampton, on the other hand, has 6 woolstaplers and 7 sorters. This would suggest that Northampton may have handled the wool supply, while Kettering concentrated on manufacturing and finishing. This division of function between the towns shows clearly when the occupations are plotted on a map. Map 6.2 shows the concentrations of raw material suppliers and entrepreneurs. The data for this, and the following map have been drawn from the 1774 Militia Lists, which have fewer missing occupations than 1777. 115 Map 6.2. Distribution of wool suppliers and entrepreneurs. 116 Source: Militia Lists 1774. Specialisation elsewhere in the county is on a tiny scale and concentrated in the western half. Five plush weavers at Chacombe and six shag weavers at Middleton Cheney were presumably part of the Banbury industry just over the county boundary178 These two villages also supported a substantial proportion (30) of the few framework knitters working in Northamptonshire at this time. Abthorpe (20) and Towcester (6) added to the concentration in the South West, on the road to Banbury. Other framework knitting villages were scattered along the Watling Street, from Lilbourne, Daventry and Flore, with 8 each, to an odd 3 at Maidford, 4 at Pattishall and one at Paulerspury. . Map 6.4 shows the distribution of the ‘producers’ across the county – weavers, combers and knitters, showing the tendency towards clustering of the combers and knitters particularly. A comparison of the Militia List data with that drawn from the Sun Fire Insurance policies of just a few years earlier emphasises the specialist role of the towns. Ranking the policies in order of sums insured show all but one of those valued at £800 or more are urban. The one exception is Long Buckby and the insurer is not one of the many Buckby combers, but a woolstapler. The highest value of all is the property of a Northampton hot presser at £3,500. Of the sixteen names in this ranking, only two are from Kettering, a sergemaker and a woolstapler, while four are from Peterborough, four from Northampton, two from Oundle, two from Towcester, one from Thrapston and the one already mentioned from Long Buckby. The most surprising inclusion are the two Oundle clothiers, since the Militia Lists show so little activity in the Oundle area. This not only emphasises the point that the capital and organising expertise is concentrated in the towns, but also illustrates the importance of crosscutting the data of one source with that of another for a fuller picture. The difference between the probate records and insurance policies is also marked, though both might be expected to reflect the wealthier participants in the industry. Particularly striking are the large number of wills for Long Buckby, against the very few insurance policies. A possible explanation is that a particularly strong kinship economy in that village had come to rely on personal obligation where borrowing and lending was concerned and had still to catch up with the modern notion of protecting an investment with insurance. 178 Kerridge, Textile manufactures. 117 Map 6.3 Distribution of textile producers. Source: Militia Lists 1774. 118 This is a very detailed picture of textile distribution, but it lacks the dimension of time. This is the situation at the height of the industry. From which areas did it originate? There are no data, comparable with Militia List occupations, for the period before the arrival of the New Draperies. The only source which offers data for this earlier period is probate; less comprehensive, but valuable nonetheless. By looking at the distribution of probate records from 1545 up to 1685 we can identify those parts of the county with an earlier history of textile production. Those parishes showing more than a single, isolated textile worker, reveal a pattern which in part prefigures later developments, but also highlights areas which later apparently entirely lost any connection with textiles. Urban centres with an earlier textile industry included Brackley and Towcester, neither of which yield any textile wills for the second half of the eighteenth century. Even more startling is the town, and Hundred, of Higham Ferrers. There are only four later wills for the entire Hundred, while there are nine early ones for the parish of Rushden alone. By the time of the Militia Lists Brackley, Towcester and Higham Ferrers had declined to the size of large villages and all were isolated from the main textile district. Early textiles were in evidence in Northampton, Kettering and Long Buckby, with a significant number of wills also at Finedon. A noticeable feature of all these places (and also Towcester) is the evidence of fullers. Though there were other early fulling sites that did not go on to form part of the textile district, the tradition of weavers from surrounding parishes sending cloth to be fulled at Kettering or Long Buckby may have influenced early clothiers or sergemakers in the choice of location for their new enterprises. However, the location of the textile district as a whole cannot be explained solely by the presence of fullers. Why, then, did it emerge and develop where it did? If Northamptonshire’s wool production was at the heart of it, why did Fuller write, in 1662, of this county and its neighbours That mid-England…having most of the wool, have least of clothing therein.179 The rural nature of the most of the county perhaps holds the key to an explanation of the distribution of textile production. Joan Thirsk and E.L.Jones both saw the origins 179 Thomas Fuller, The history of the worthies of England (1662). 119 of rural industry in the agrarian character of a locality.180They each demonstrated that the way land was held and cultivated (or not) had a bearing on the later industrial development of a region. Hudson took this further in the West Riding of Yorkshire, showing how different agricultural landscapes were implicated in the progress of the worsted and woollen industries, giving rise to quite different forms of industrial organisation – putting out in the case of worsted, and independent artisan production of woollens.181 Factors beyond the agricultural have also been shown to be influential and a range of these have been examined systematically by Rogers and Mills in the context of the framework knitting industries of Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. In particular they have looked at population, freeholding and wealth These factors may be explored in the context of the Northamptonshire textile industry, in order to understand why the textile district is where it is, and also why some villages within the district had no involvement in the industry. The landscape will be considered first, with land use and natural resources. Then economic and social factors, such as population, landholding, wealth and manorial control will be assessed in turn. Comparisons with non-industrial villages will suggest which factors are most strongly connected with the development of the rural industry. The landscape. The landscape of Northamptonshire breaks down broadly into six pays. (See Map 6.4, below.) The Nene Valley dominates. Fertile and thickly populated, it is the county’s principal arable region. In Morton’s day it was bounded, north and south, by still substantial remnants of medieval forest – the extensive Rockingham Forest in the north, and the combined scraps of Whittlewood and Salcey to the south. To the north of Rockingham Forest, the heath and fen of Nassaburgh Hundred and the cathedral city of Peterborough were hardly part of the county at all, being a semi-independent Soke. On the west, the Uplands, or Northampton Heights, ran from the forest to the Watling street and beyond, dividing the Nene Valley from the Welland and the Avon, 180 181 Thirsk, Industries in the countryside; Jones, Agricultural origins of industry. Hudson, From manor to mill. 120 with a cold, north facing scarp and a warmer, gentler, south facing dipslope. In the southwest the Wolds continued the Uplands in ever more extremes of relief to the heaths of Croughton and Evenley, with Whittlewood to their East. 121 Map 6.4. The pays of Northamptonshire. 122 Morton’s observations on land use around 1700 suggest the best pasture land in the county was largely concentrated in the Guilsborough Hundred and the western part of Rothwell Hundred, with other useful stretches at Brigstock, Dodford and Flore, Fawsley and Charwelton. In addition to the forests, he identifies notable woodland around Daventry, at Staverton, Badby and Norton. He points out areas of less fertile heathland at the extreme ends of the county, in Nassaburgh hundred to the North and the edge of the Wolds in the Southwest, with two further heaths covering several parishes in the south of the Guilsborough Hundred in the Uplands, and across parts of Nobottle Grove and Spelho Hundreds to the North of Northampton in the Nene Valley. Substantial grain surpluses from the Valley and wool from the Uplands were exported beyond the county boundary.182 Natural resources and land use. The fertile Nene Valley could produce ample quantities of grain, with sufficient wellwatered meadows to cut for hay to overwinter the plough-beasts on which the following year’s harvest depended. The River Nene and the Ise Brook, as well as smaller streams all over the county, provided water for scouring and other processes as well as motive power for fulling and other mills. The fens around Peterborough yielded fish, eels and wildfowl, as well as turf for fuel. The forests provided, as well as sport, timber for building and making charcoal, including the means of smelting the local ironstone on a small scale. The limestone backbone of the county supplied building stone of varying qualities But it was the Uplands, including the pasture lands of the Guilsborough and Rothwell Hundreds identified by Morton, which were later to provide the greater part of the manufacturing workforce. The Uplands supported sheep flocks. For centuries wool had been an important product, exported in quantity beyond the county boundary, and, in earlier centuries, beyond seas. The less fertile uplands and heaths, though slow to warm up in the spring for arable crops, provided an extensive swathe of land with good grazing potential. Where sand overlay the clay, well-drained pasture might save sheep from foot rot in wet seasons, whilst in dry years the heavier land sustained the grass through the summer, together with furze, broom and bracken for fuel. It would 182 John Morton, Natural History of Northamptonshire. Northampton, 1712. 123 be wrong to assume however that the Uplands were entirely given over to permanent pasture. Though more thinly populated than much of the rest of the county, since the Middle Ages there had been numerous settlements of small freeholders and other subsistence farmers cultivating what land they could on an open field system. While they were not primarily wool growers, these people kept small flocks of sheep, not only for wool, milk and possibly meat for their own consumption, but also for their invaluable production of dung, for no matter how often land was left to rest for a fallow year, it was the folding of sheep over the fallows that made for an improvement in crop yields in succeeding years. Long before the Dissolution of the monasteries a number of religious houses had recognised the value of Upland pastures. In November 1288 a contract was made between the monks of Pipewell Abbey and a group of wool merchants from Cahors in the Languedoc. The merchants were to provide capital for stocking the Abbey sheep pastures, while the Abbey took responsibility for the care of the animals and the delivery of the annual clip to Boston Fair at Midsummer. The profits were to be split between the two parties.183 Other religious houses also had pastoral interests in the Upland region and Mary Finch, in her Five Northamptonshire families, has shown how local families pursued sheep farming on monastic pastures after the Dissolution.184A number of developments contributed to the progress of pastoralisation. A rising population created an expanding market for foodstuffs generally, and the Reformation also brought a decline in fasting, indirectly adding to a growing demand for meat by a conspicuously consuming, rising middle class. More importantly, with the spread of Protestantism and the passing of the necessity to devote expenditure to easing the soul through Purgatory, those who had money were more inclined to spend it on the ostentatious consumption of fashion. The inexorable growth of London made increasing demands on the rest of the country for food and other commodities and the fashionable New Draperies, dependent as they were on combing or pasture wool, made increasing demands on the large commercial pasture flocks. 183 T H Lloyd, The English wool trade in the Middle Ages. Cambridge 1977, pp296-305 M E Finch, The wealth of five Northamptonshire families, 1549 - 1640., vol. 19, The Publications of the Northamptonshire record Society (Oxford, 1956). 184 124 European unrest led to a slump in wool prices, which encouraged sheep farmers to take a greater interest in the possibilities of mutton production, and turned their attention to producing larger sheep. So with increased demand for mutton as well as combing wool, the attractions of sheep farming were growing just at the time following the Dissolution when large tracts of monastic land were coming onto the market.185 Monasteries such as Pipewell had taken advantage of pastures on granges scattered over the Uplands to manage their flocks according to the season. The value of being able to call on both high and low-lying grazing for the long-term benefit of the sheep was not lost on families like the Treshams of Rushton. Thomas Tresham was granted in 1551 monastic property which included Pipewell possessions bordering on his own estate at Rushton, and in 1554 he leased more from the Crown. Though he did not live long enough to modernise the management of his new estates, his grandson Thomas, who succeeded him in 1559 at the age of fifteen, became a noted ‘improver’ involved directly in sheep farming.186 Other landed families, with commercial interests in London, began to develop their agricultural interests in the county. John Isham, from a family in Pytchley, went to London as an apprentice in 1542. In 1560, as a mercer and Citizen of London, he bought the Manor of Lamport, retiring from his London career in 1572 to devote himself to farming. As a producer he sold meat, mainly to butchers within the county, and wool to London, Cirencester and to local dealers, such as Giffard Watkyn, who was later to form a distant relationship with the Ishams by marriage. Watkyn, who succeeded to the Manor of Watford in 1597, was both a dealer and a ‘merchant farmer’ keeping sheep in Watford, Haselbech and Draughton, as well as buying wool from the Ishams and the Treshams.187 185 M E Finch, The wealth of five Northamptonshire families, 1549-1640. Northampton, Northamptonshire Record Society, 1956. 186 Finch, Northants families. 187 NRO, OK233a&b, Extent of the Manor of Watford, 1597; YZ7223, Inventory of Gifford Watkin,1611. 125 No survey of wool growing in 16th century Northamptonshire would be complete without a consideration of the outstanding success of the Spencers of Althorp. Excellent judges of sheep pasture, the family increased their holdings in both Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, enclosing them where necessary. In 1563 Spencer lands in Watford were enclosed and depopulated. In 1589 Elkington, the anciently enclosed jewel in Pipewell’s crown, was acquired by marriage. As the largest scale producers in the county they could negotiate favourable contracts directly with end-users instead of operating via dealers, and this they did, not only with wool but also with meat. Dealing direct with the London butchers, they had not to face the uncertainties of common markets. Their success no doubt owed much to the new developments in the London food market in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: increasing demand, and the increasing influence of great London retailers, anxious to establish direct contact with producers.188 The heyday of the direct involvement of landed families with sheep farming came to an end in the 1620s when wool prices slumped and never really recovered. This was partly due to the disastrous Cockayne Project, which attempted to create a new monopoly in English cloth exports and only succeeded in provoking the Dutch into destroying the market, but also to the economic turmoil of the Thirty Years War in Europe. This circumstance, together with the Government’s nervousness at the potential militancy of the dispossessed, exemplified in the Midland Revolt of 1607, slowed down the rate of enclosure until the following century, though odd instances still occurred, such as Henry Leigh’s partial depopulation of Cold Ashby in 1637.189 As Map 6.5 shows, it is in these wool-growing Uplands that we find the chief portion of the textile district, a century or more later. There are significant extensions into Rockingham Forest and the northwestern, upper end of the Nene Valley. The Hundreds of Fawsley, Guilsborough and Rothwell are wholly within the Uplands, with Nobottle Grove extending down into the Nene Valley, while Corby covers the remnants of Rockingham Forest. The textile district covers the highest, coldest and agriculturally least rewarding portion of the county.

NRO Thornton of Brockhall Collection, Th586, Order of the Lords Commissioners for Depopulations, 1637. 189 126 Huxloe Hundred, can be seen to be marginal rather than central to the textile district. Its strategic importance is as an entrepot between three pays; exchanging the grain of the valley for the wool of the uplands and the charcoal and timber of the forest. There are no other towns in the textile district except Daventry, which shows minimal evidence of textile activity in the Militia List data – both Northampton and Wellingborough, outside the district, show more. An upland, pastoral location for the textile district is entirely what one would expect from proto-industrial models put forward by, among others, Hudson and Zell.190 Further, in her survey of rural industry, Thirsk links early enclosure for pasture with small independent farmers, weak manorial control and little or no cooperative farming.191 This pattern is not reflected in Northamptonshire. However, early enclosure in a region which is extensively pastoral and with low fertility such as Yorkshire or the Kentish Weald has different consequences from piecemeal enclosure in an area where mixed farming is also possible, and pastoral parishes, controlled by substantial commercial graziers and woolgrowers, rub shoulders with open fields and open parishes. The Uplands of Northamptonshire are so called relative to the rest of the county as it drops down towards the Fens, but are more hospitable to small scale arable or mixed farming than the large pastoral tracts of the Highland Zone in the country at large. The mix of open and close parishes within the Uplands will be seen to be significant in the process of rural industrialisation. 190 191 Pat Hudson, Regions and Industries.: Michael Zell, Industry in the countryside. Thirsk, "Industries." 127 Map 6.5 The principal textile towns and villages of Northamptonshire. Source: Militia Lists, 1777. (1774 figures are substituted for Desborough, Harringworth and West Haddon.) 128 So the industry developed around the sheep pasture: the source of the “most of the wool” that Fuller saw leaving the county to be processed elsewhere. That circumstances had changed since Fuller’s day is undeniable. Changing fleece quality from pasture sheep had grown increasingly suitable for combing and the production of the new worsteds. But it is clear that availability of raw materials is insufficient to build an industry. However small its beginnings, an industry needs labour as much as materials. That the district which provided the raw materials also supplied much of the labour is interesting. That there were also settlements within the textile district with no apparent involvement in manufacturing is a strong incentive to examine all the settlements of the textile district in the light of the industrial location factors described earlier. Aspects of population need to be considered. Access to land, or lack of it, has also been shown to be significant by Joan Thirsk and others.192 Social structure as a further factor has been explored by Hudson, Rogers and Mills.193All these factors will be examined in turn to evaluate their importance in determining which settlements were likely to become involved in manufacturing, Population Population can be measured in a number of ways to discover which aspect has the most bearing on industrialisation. A simple head count, or household count, per settlement at a given point in time yields one picture, which can be refined by calculating population density (average acreage per household}, which reflects the degree of land poverty within the settlement. Given more than one point in time, population growth may be estimated, reflecting either natural increase, or weak manorial control, allowing significant levels of in-migration, or both. For the purposes of this exercise, three points in time have been selected for population rankings: firstly, the total number of households listed in the 1674 Hearth Tax returns (taxpayers and those certified too poor to pay); secondly the number of households counted by John Bridges when researching his county history around 1720; lastly, the count of inhabited houses, (which may or may not reflect the number of households) at the time of the 1801 census. It should be noted that the nature of the sources dictate 192 193 Gullickson, Spinners, Thirsk, "Industries." Hudson, "Land.", Mills, "Rural industries.", Rogers, "Rural industries." 129 that the counting of households, rather than a head-count, be used for comparison, since the Hearth Tax was levied on the householder and Bridges counted houses not heads. The selection of dates for these population estimates, though constrained by available sources, is nevertheless a very useful survey of the manufacturing period. The earliest date indicates the levels of population just as production was beginning to expand and therefore isolates the immediate availability of labour as a factor in predisposing a settlement to industrialisation. The Bridges figure shows the situation as manufacturing was gaining momentum and the Census figure reflects the position after the decline. To explore location factors, a single Hundred will be examined in the first instance. Taking totals of weavers and combers together, the hundred showing the highest number of textile occupations at the time of the Militia Lists is Guilsborough. Outside the immediate orbit of Kettering, this hundred is entirely rural, offering a spectrum of settlements, from the highly industrialised to those with no demonstrable industrial activity at all. By looking at the whole of the hundred, rather than just the textile settlements, the factors which are most significant for industry will be thrown into stronger relief. Patterns which emerge from this Hundred will then be compared and contrasted with those from Hundreds with a more marked specialisation in weaving or combing, and with an urban focus. To begin an examination of this Hundred, the acreage of each parish was determined for later use in the calculation of population density. At this point it seemed logical to rank textile occupations against acreage for each parish to discover, before considering population, whether the size of a parish had any bearing on its tendency to industrialise. 130 Village Acreage 1777textile occupations 2596 West Haddon Long Buckby 3591 Crick 3207 Welford 3030 Watford 3385 Yelvertoft 2185 Cold Ashby 2077 Creaton 932 Lilbourne 1624 Naseby 3324 Clay Coton 963 Guils&Nort 2180 Hollowell 1023 Cottesbrooke 2777 Elkington 1849 Stanford 2051 Thornby 1182 Winwick 2012 61 61 51 46 17 14 10 9 8 7 6 6 5 2 0 0 0 0 Table 6.5.

Table 6.5 above shows the acreage of Guilsborough Hundred villages, ranked in order of the total number of weavers and combers recorded in the Militia Lists of 1777 (in the case of West Haddon, 1774). The acreage of each parish is shown as recorded in the census of 1871. Some tendency can be seen for industry to be associated with larger parishes, with the top seven industrial villages all containing over 2,000 acres, but there are also five villages over this acreage with little or no industry. Sheer size, then, may be a factor, but not a decisively significant one. A similar ranking exercise was then carried out using the population data with parish acreages so that population figures could be used to calculate densities. 131 Village Acreage aph1674 aph1720 aph1801 HT1674 BHC1720 24 19 15 107 134 WH 2596 11 LB 3591 24 19 152 189 15 Crick 3207 27 24 125 132 16 Welford 3030 33 25 93 123 56 Watford 3385 68 77 50 44 33 Lilbourne 1624 23 32 70 50 18 Yelvertoft 2185 25 18 88 120 29 Cold Ashby 2077 53 49 39 42 10 Creaton 932 18 17 53 54 28 Guils&Nort 2180 35 35 62 63 32 Naseby 3324 45 37 74 90 42 Clay Coton 963 28 38 34 25 24 Hollowell 1023 51 54 21 19 58 Cottesbrooke 2777 62 61 45 45 264 Elkington 1849 264 184 7 10 228 Stanford 2051 57 121 36 17 30 Thornby 1182 49 42 24 28 77 Winwick 2012 80 101 25 20 Key: Aph Acres per household HT Hearth Tax BHC Bridges House Count HC Inhabited houses total from Census Tex.

Population and density (shown as acres per household –aph) Table 6.6 shows both total population (in terms of households) and population density, shown as the average acreage per household. There is a correlation between high population and industry for the top six industrial villages, with the anomaly of Watford possibly explained by the counting of Murcott. This small settlement straddled the parish boundary between Long Buckby and Watford. In the Hearth Tax returns for 1674, the taxpayers are counted separately, but as a continuation of Long Buckby, while the certified appear to be included indistinguishably with the certified of Long Buckby, thereby reducing Watford’s population total. However, the Watford anomaly continues through the totals for 1720 and 1801. During the same period Naseby’s population, already relatively large at 1674 can be seen to rise faster than some of the more industrialised villages without the stimulus of much industrial occupation. 132 Calculating population density throws up other anomalies whilst still reflecting a strong correlation between industry and population. The top four industrial villages are amongst the most densely populated. In 1674 Yelvertoft, Creaton, Lilbourne and Claycoton had populations as dense or denser and showed some evidence of industry a century later, though much less than the top four. By 1720 rankings had changed little. The top four were the same, Creaton was still densest, with Yelvertoft almost the same, while Lilbourne and Claycoton had both lost population. Watford still sticks out like a sore thumb. On the whole, however, there is a tendency, as both Mills and Rogers found, towards a correlation between high populations and high population density at 1674 and the development of industry. This suggests that not only an available labour force but a degree of pressure on land resources may be seen as an important precondition for industrialisation. Densities at later dates may be seen as a consequence rather than an influencing factor; both in terms of increased fertility as a result of the lowering of the age at marriage among industrial families, and in-migration by those from elsewhere looking for work. Rogers divides his Nottinghamshire population growth into two stages, beginning and ending as above with 1674 and 1801, but split at 1743 (population figures from an ecclesiastical visitation return.).194Whilst recognising that the correlation between growth and industry is stronger in the later period, he appears not to have considered growth as a consequence rather than a cause. In the Guilsborough Hundred, the most industrialised villages are generally those showing population growth in both periods, with the most populous at 1674 at the top of the list. But this is not the whole story. The anomalies of Watford – fifth in the textile industry league but apparently losing population between 1674 and 1720, and Naseby – populous but relatively uninvolved in manufacturing, prompt further investigation. 194 Alan Rogers, Rural industries and social structure, Textile History 12,1981pp8-36. 133 Economic and social factors Here we may turn to a consideration of the economic and social structure of individual villages as a means of differentiating the character of settlements with similar populations. Indications of social structure can be derived from an analysis of Hearth Tax returns and also the numbers of freeholders listed in poll books. The relative wealth or poverty of a parish population may be inferred from the number of villagers certified as being too poor to pay Hearth Tax. By separating out the taxpayers and the certified from the Hearth Tax returns, those villages supporting a high proportion of the poor can be identified, and a closer analysis of hearth numbers can distinguish differing levels of inequality in different villages. Counting the freeholders who voted in elections may not produce a totally accurate view of the absolute number of freeholders in any parish, but is still useful for identifying parishes containing large numbers of freeholders, and the character of the village may also be inferred by the number of freeholders residing beyond the parish (or even county) boundary. Table 6.7 shows the total number of households listed in the Hearth tax returns alongside the totals of certified poor. The percentage of the poor in each parish is calculated and all these figures are set against the total textile occupation rankings as before. The results suggest that there may be some link between poverty levels and industry, with the top four villages having the highest number of certified households. But on examination of the percentage figures, the direct relationship between poverty and industry almost disappears. However, the link between high population combined with poverty at this period maintains a strong connection with subsequent industrialisation. 134 Village West Haddon Long Buckby Crick Welford Watford Lilbourne Yelvertoft Cold Ashby Creaton Guils&Nort Naseby Clay Coton Hollowell Cottesbrooke Elkington Stanford Thornby Winwick Certified Total Certified as % of households1674 1674 total 1777textile occupations 107 38 36 61 152 71 47 61 125 50 40 60 93 48 52 49 50 23 46 17 70 25 36 16 88 33 38 14 39 8 21 9 53 23 43 7 62 30 48 7 74 22 30 7 34 16 47 6 21 9 43 5 45 17 38 2 7 2 29 0 36 10 28 0 24 6 25 0 25 7 28 0 Table 6.7. Guilsborough Hundred. Hearth Tax, 1674. The Hearth Tax returns offer potential for more than just totalling up the poor. By looking at the number of hearths taxed per taxpayer, both Mills and Rogers were able to draw conclusions about the social structure of villages, identifying a spectrum embracing three categories: monarchical, oligarchical and homogenous. The monarchical villages, determined by the presence of a single great house with ten or more hearths, the oligarchical contained a number of substantial houses of seven or more hearths, while the homogenous had no large houses at all. 135 GUILSBOROUGH HUNDRED HEARTH TAX RETURNS 1674 NUMBER OF HEARTHS VILLAGE Occs Cert. 1 2 3 4 West Haddon 61 24 55 18 8 0 Long Buckby 61 71 43 25 7 0 Crick 60 51 44 18 10 2 Welford 49 48 21 16 4 0 Watford 17 23 12 9 1 3 Lilbourne 16 25 21 18 3 4 Yelvertoft 14 33 32 16 4 1 Cold Ashby 9 16 4 3 5 2 Creaton 7 21 11 7 5 5 Naseby 7 22 41 7 2 1 Guils.& Nortoft 7 30 13 4 1 1 Clay Coton 6 34 7 6 2 3 Hollowell 5 9 4 2 4 1 Cottesbrooke 2 17 20 6 1 0 Winwick 0 7 12 3 0 1 Thornby 0 5 8 4 4 2 Stanford 0 10 14 9 2 1 Elkington 0 2 3 1 0 0 Table6.8 Guilsborough Hundred.

Of these, only Cottesbrooke shows evidence of textile occupations in 1777, and that only minimal. The oligarchies of Welford, Watford and Guilsborough have very different levels of involvement with industry, so this form of social structure cannot be said to predispose a community towards or away from manufacturing. The homogenous villages do not invariably appear at the top of the table. We have already seen that the link with poverty is not marked. The closest relationship with the textile rankings appears to be the higher-than average totals of two- and three-hearth houses. These perhaps are home to those with just a little spare capital to employ, with enough of a margin against poverty to take some risk with the vagaries of the national market. This is in line with Rogers’s findings in Nottinghamshire. Mills, in a similar analysis of the Leicestershire industrial villages, found a stronger relationship with poverty. He put his contrasting findings in Leicestershire down to differences in the early organisation of framework knitting in the two counties.195 As Wykes has pointed out, the expansion of Leicestershire hosiery was based on pauper hand knitting, organised 195 Dennis R Mills, Rural industries and social structure. Textile history 13(2)1982, pp183-203. 136 by capitalist hosiers in Leicester. This organisation continued with mechanisation so the necessity for rural entrepreneurs did not arise.196 In Nottinghamshire, Rogers sees framework knitting coming in on the back of weaving rather than hand knitting and notes a diffusion of rural yeoman-knitters, “who like the handloom weavers were often freemen who bought their own frames”197Thus it would seem that, in the Guilsborough Hundred at least, Northamptonshire’s industrial structure may have been closer to Nottinghamshire’s than Leicestershire’s. Two and three-hearth households might be expected, particularly in homogenous villages, to be associated with freeholders. An analysis of voting freeholders, recorded in the Poll Book for 1748198 shows a marked relationship between freeholders and industry.

Or it may be that a number of small freeholders in these villages owned less than the forty shillings’ worth of freehold which would have entitled them to a vote. All the foregoing analyses suggests that industry was most likely to arise in large, populous parishes without a single dominant landlord exercising strict manorial control but with a significant proportion of ‘middling’ villagers with two or three hearths to their houses and sufficient freehold property to confer voting rights. These findings need to be compared with the situation in other textile hundreds. But before pursuing the weavers and combers further, a digression is in order to follow the wool from the combers before it reaches the weavers. A consideration of the distribution of textile workers is incomplete unless it deals with the ‘invisible’ portion of the workforce. Were the spinners fully integrated into the industrial villages? Is there evidence of stronger connections with weaving or combing villages? The Militia lists include only males, whilst spinners were (almost) all female. The only evidence on which to base the distribution of spinners over the county are the Quarter Sessions lists of convictions for false reeling, embezzling and mixing yarns etc. The Inspectors of Worsted Yarn appear to have conducted sweeps of most of the county in the early years of their existence. Either one visit was enough to keep spinners up to scratch in some parts of the county, or later efforts were concentrated on the textile district, perhaps encouraged by manufacturers keen to extend their control over the workforce. Either way the convictions can only tell us where spinners were working and offending against the Worsted Act, not furnish us with an accurate distribution pattern. At the Hundred level, Corby leads the field by some way (66), followed by Rothwell (39), Huxloe (31) and then Guilsborough (21). Other than Spelho, (11) no other Hundred produces more than ten convictions. Thus it may be that spinners were concentrated in the Weaving Hundreds (of the Combing Hundreds, Fawsley has 3 convictions and Nobottle Grove 2: Long Buckby, the leading combing centre in Guilsborough Hundred, and the county, has just one). 138 Convictions were not only found in the industrial villages of those hundreds however. Deanthorpe, with no textile occupations in 1777, produced 7, while Corby, with 28 weavers and a comber, produced 5. Of the 31 Huxloe Hundred convictions, just 11 were from Kettering. This trend is less evident in Rothwell however, where all but 3 convictions are in industrial villages. A map of spinner distribution (Map 6.6) shows all spinners listed in the Quarter Sessions Rolls for 1789-99. From this it can be seen that spinning extended well beyond the concentrations of the textile district. Map 6.6 Distribution of spinners at the end of the eighteenth century. Source: NRO QSR1/535-574. 139 If convictions of spinners really do reflect the distribution of this stage of the manufacturing process, which is far from sure, then the presence of higher numbers of spinners in the weaving Hundreds may be saying something about the organisation of the industry. It is certain that a fleece travelled many miles before the finished fabric was sent to market. It passed through a number of hands, some of whom owned it for a time. William Facer, the woolcomber (see Chapter 4) provided in his will for the poor of several villages “who used to spin for me” so, in the 1750s at least there were spinners working for combers. But perhaps it was more efficient to produce yarn closer to the weavers who were going to work it up. Perhaps, in the light of the dispute between Long Buckby and the Kettering manufacturers over the Worsted Act (see Chapter 7), the entrepreneurs controlling the business took steps to employ spinners in the weaving district where they could be more easily supervised, away from the combing centre’s dissident influence. (In the 19th century Long Buckby, as a shoe town, was to acquire the soubriquet ‘a Mile and a half of Bolshevism’ – perhaps its reputation is even longer in the tooth!) Given that the records of convictions may reflect the chosen itineraries of the Inspectors of Worsted Yarn as much as the actual distribution of spinners, the important points to note in a consideration of the ‘invisible’ female element in textile production are the concrete evidence for spinners in non-industrialised villages, and the economic significance overall of the sheer number of spinners who must have been employed, bearing in mind the ratio of spinners to weavers considered earlier. A comparison of industrial location factors in the Weaving and Combing Hundreds, the time has now come to compare the Guilsborough Hundred findings with others. Firstly the combing Hundreds of Fawsley and Nobottle Grove, where industry tends to be associated with large acreages. In Fawsley the 1674 population is also significant, in Nobottle Grove, less so. In neither was poverty, in terms of the percentage of certified households in 1674, very strongly associated with industry. The relationship with freeholder numbers was stronger in Fawsley. In both hundreds, it should be borne in mind, the levels of industrialisation were generally lower than in the Weaving hundreds. Also, in the case of Nobottle Grove, the proximity to 140 Northampton is likely to distort the picture somewhat with the potential of a greater diversity of employment opportunities. In Rothwell and Corby hundreds, acreage appears not to be significant in the development of industry, but large populations are, to a degree. Poverty again is not a significant factor in either, but there is a marked difference between the two in the matter of freeholders. This factor shows a close relationship with industry in Rothwell, but not with Corby. In both there is a correlation with high population density. Tables showing all the factors considered, together with total population figures (in terms of households) for each hundred appear in Appendix 3: Industrial location factors. While Fawsley and Huxloe show a considerable increase over the period covered, the others show a much more modest growth. For Huxloe, the expansion of Kettering itself accounts for most, whilst in Fawsley, the population of Daventry increased considerably, though not through anything like Kettering’s involvement with textiles. Otherwise, though some settlements saw significant expansion, there was little net growth in the hundreds generally. The implication of which is that migration is likely to have been at least as important as natural increase in population changes. As household numbers dwindled in villages such as Carlton and Stanford, and others marked time, the growth of the towns and some of the textile settlements must have come from migrants looking for employment. The variation in the significant factors across the textile hundreds is perhaps rooted in the variety of industrial organisation seen in the textile district as a whole. There were large manufacturers putting out work, particularly but not exclusively, in Kettering, as can be seen by the incidence of manufacturers in the Militia Lists and also in newspaper reports of leading manufacturers campaigning for legislation (or against it, in the case of the Lincolnshire Petition). However, from advertisements for the Kettering Yarn Market and the Daventry Yarn and Piece Market, there would seem also to have been a substantial number of small independent producers, buying and selling their own goods in small quantities. Possibly freeholder status was more important for independent artisans, whilst a large pool of poverty might provide the labour for putting out. 141 Pat Hudson found that the contrasting forms of industrial organisation in the townships of Calverley and Sowerby were reflected in their patterns of taxation.199These two townships form an illuminating contrast to the Northamptonshire textile villages. Using Registers of Baptism, she demonstrated that textile involvement stood at over 70% in both places. In Northamptonshire, even Kettering, on the evidence of the 1777 Militia List, could muster only 49%. Similarly, a comparison of population levels gives a degree of perspective to the little Northamptonshire industry. At the time of the 1801 census, Calverley’s population was 2,081 and Sowerby’s, 4,275. Kettering’s was 3,011, and of the textile villages, only Rothwell and Long Buckby had populations of over a thousand. The artisans of Calverley were more likely to occupy houses with one or two hearths, while there were significantly more houses with more than four hearths to accommodate the putters out of Sowerby. Her description of ‘ the accumulation of land in the hands of a socially diverse, but limited, class who then rented out cottages to the larger army of the landless group’, could equally relate to Long Buckby. In her review of her Hearth Tax analysis, she concludes that her basic hypothesis is broadly correct; that a polarised social structure is more common in the putting-out district, whilst a more homogenous structure without any extremes of wealth inclines to artisan production. But she was surprised to find that Sowerby supported a significant ‘middling’ class, and that Calverley had so many poor. More of Northamptonshire’s textile villages have Hearth tax structures that look like putting-out Sowerby, than artisan Calverley, but too many are borderline to make this analysis a reliable indicator of industrial organisation. A different approach which may identify outworker villages from those in which independent artisans were operating is to cross-match the names of all weavers appearing in the Militia Lists against those occurring in probate records and fire insurance policies. By just checking those described as weavers, the larger entrepreneurs, likely to be described as manufacturers, sergemakers or woolcombers are eliminated. Will-making and insurance both suggest a degree at least of 199 Pat Hudson, ‘Land, the social structure and industry in two Yorkshire townships c.1660-1800’, Philip Swan and David Foster (eds.)Essays in honour of Eric M Sigsworth, Beverley, 1992. 142 independence. This exercise produced 44 matches with probate and 28 with insurance. Remarkably, only one name matched both. But the distribution was, in both cases quite similar. There were very few isolated weavers. Most were found in clusters of contiguous or almost contiguous parishes: a Watling Street group running from Barby through Kilsby, Yelvertoft, Crick, west Haddon, Long Buckby and Ravensthorpe, with Flore just down the road. Two were rather high and dry at Byfield and one all on his own at Moulton. Then the Kettering group stretched from East Farndon and Little Bowden through Braybrook, Desborough, then branching, through Wilbarston and Middleton to Corby and through Rothwell and Kettering to Broughton. A further group focussed on Wellingborough included Irchester, Irthlingborough, Higham Ferrers and Great Addington. This is a crude measure, but does suggest that the textile district was not sharply divided into outwork and artisan areas. Having considered the textile villages within their hundreds, throwing into relief the factors which appear to be most closely implicated in industrialisation, we can now look at these villages as a group by themselves. There are 41 towns and villages in the county with over 10 textile occupations at 1777 (or 1774 where occupations are omitted in 1777). Numbers are not very helpful without an idea of the total population of a place, however. In a total of 40 places 20% or more of the occupations listed were textile related. But some of these places were very small. For instance it would be misleading to speak of Newton, in Corby Hundred, as an industrial village, despite its 44% involvement in textiles, when there were only four weavers there, along with five other occupations. By combining these two lists and removing all those where there were fewer than ten textile occupations, and then all those where textile occupations comprise less than 20% of all occupations, we are left with a total of 30 places with a really significant textile involvement, three of them framework knitting communities outside the main textile district. Of those places within the district, Lilbourne stands out with the highest percentage of all, with an almost equal mix of knitters and combers. Positioned right on the edge of the county, with Leicestershire to the north and the Watling Street forming its western boundary, its connections with the Leicestershire framework knitting industry must have been as strong as its location within the Upland textile district. 143 Looking at the whole group together with the industrial location factors we have considered reveals which of those factors are most significant overall in the development of the textile district. A wide range of acreage and population show that the size of the place was not an overriding factor, or that population growth was automatically associated with industry; alongside those populations which more than doubled are some which declined from their 1674 totals. There are high levels of freeholders in many places, but by no means all. What does stand out, with only two glaring exceptions (Watford and Holowell) is the relatively high population density, generally less than 30 acres per household. Enclosure If pressure on land is a factor in industrialisation, then this raises the question of early enclosure. (compare the population density of textile villages with that of early enclosures such as Elkington at 264 acres per household at 1674, or Fawsley at 224) Both Mills and Rogers look at early enclosure in relation to framework knitting villages. They appear to equate enclosure with the generation of freeholder villages and the consequent free market in land cited by Hudson , Thisk and Zell as a prerequisite for industrialisation. Because very few, if any, early-enclosed villages went on to industrialise they dismiss enclosure as a factor in industrialisation. A similar examination of early-enclosed parishes in Northamptonshire would produce the same result. But the subsequent history of the enclosed village itself is not the only place to look for the effect of enclosure. Early enclosure, in Northamptonshire sheep country at least, was generally initiated by one, or a small number of landlords within a parish, converting land to sheepwalk and depopulating the village, replacing open field tenants by a smaller number of larger tenants or engaging in large-scale commercial production using employed shepherds and labourers. These are not the villages, on the whole, that were to become industrialised. Instead their surplus populations made their way either into a nearby town, or into an open village, which, without a strong Manorial Court to keep them out, tended to grow, both in population and poverty. Thus, the depopulating, woolgrowing settlements were the engineers of the large, land-poor populations which, having reached critical mass, were inclined to trigger industrialisation and the processing of that basic raw material produced in abundance by those same woolgrowers. Morton had noticed this pattern in 1712, but even then it 144 was not an original observation. In 1663 Samuel Fortrey considered the results of enclosure for pasture, “one hundred acres of which, will scarce maintain a shepherd and his dog, which now maintains many families, employed in tillage. Nor surely do any imagine that the people which lived in those towns they call depopulated, were all destroyed, because they no longer lived there…they were only removed to other places…and employed in the manufacture of the wool that may arise out of one hundred acres of pasture.”200 Morton’s attitude to the situation is almost celebratory, as he rounds on those opposed to the enclosure process. And as to the Depopulation which is so much complained of on this account; it appears by several instances here, that as the towns in the enclosed Lordships have been depopulated, so the neighbouring towns that are not enclosed, and especially the market Towns, have since that enclosure been impopulated, if I may so speak, the number of people in them much increased, and the higher the rents of the land and houses; there especially where the woollen manufacturers are encouraged.201 Map 6.7, below, showing those parishes in which less than five freeholders voted in the 1748 Parliamentary Election, makes an interesting comparison with map 6.5 of the textile district. The green-shaded ‘close parishes’ form a startlingly clear negative image around the white spaces of the textile district, illustrating clearly where the industrial labour force came from. One surprising parish to be shaded green was the town of Kettering. The explanation of this is probably to be found in the large number of wills in which copyhold tenures were surrendered. As copyholders, the manufacturers of Kettering would not have been entitled to vote. Further, they would have faced large entry fines as property was passed from one generation to the next, which would have made a dent in any capital accumulations. This circumstance may have materially influenced the development of the town of Kettering as an industrial centre. 200 Samuel Fortrey, Englands Interest and Improvement, Cambridge, 1663, quoted in R.C.Allen, Enclosure and the yeoman, 1992. 201 John Morton, Natural historyof Northamptonshire, 1712. 145 Map 6.7 Distribution of ‘close parishes’ (5 freeholders or less) in 1748. Source: Northamptonshire Poll Book, 1748. 146 If industry took root and grew in open villages in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, what effect did Parliamentary enclosure have on the course of industry in those villages? How viable did the textile industry remain in villages where it lost the subsidy of common or customary rights? Since it is only during the period of the Militia Lists that we can track levels of industry with any confidence, only those parishes enclosed within that period can be examined for evidence of change. Thus, in Corby Hundred, where most villages were enclosed in the nineteenth century, Stoke Albany, enclosed in 1764 stands out. There were thirty two textile occupations there in 1762, but it was down to thirteen in 1771. It could be argued that there was a general downturn in trade from 1762 which could have led to this decline, but Geddington, enclosed in 1807 maintains a steady level of about twenty four until 1781 when the figure suddenly drops to seven. Corby (enclosed 1829) maintains a similar level right through to 1781. Fawsley Hundred is more difficult to look at since the Militia Lists only survive from 1771-7 for this Hundred and most enclosures were either before or after this. Braunston, enclosed in 1775 would have been interesting, if only the parish clerk had recorded occupation for 1777! Guilsborough Hundred shows contradictory trends, with Yelvertoft dropping textile occupations substantially following enclosure, while Crick remains unaltered. In Huxloe Hundred, Cranford and Grafton Underwood decline very slightly after enclosure, but there appears to be a more marked effect in Nobottle Grove Hundred, where East Haddon declines from 25 in 1771 to ten in 1777 and Kislingbury drops from fifteen to three. However, Kislingbury was not enclosed until 1779, so the decline comes in 1781, which parallels that of Ravensthorpe, from 28 to nine – but Ravensthorpe’s decline cannot be laid at the door of enclosure since it was not enclosed until 1795. In the same Hundred, Whilton’s textile occupations actually rose after enclosure, as did Clipston’s in Rothwell Hundred. Other enclosed villages in Rothwell Hundred declined slightly, Braybrook hardly at all. From these examples it can be seen that there was no clear pattern of industrial decline following loss of common or customary rights. But the extent to which textile workers enjoyed such rights before enclosure was likely to vary from village to village. Enclosure riots at two significant textile production centres – West Haddon in 1765 and Wilbarston in 1798 might suggest that there was 147 at least a fear of loss of livelihood in the absence of support or subsidy from common rights.202 This chapter has identified the textile district within the county, and the weaving and combing hundreds within that district. By examining the location factors in all the villages within a hundred, whether industrialised or not, those factors most likely to be implicated in industrialisation have been isolated. As Mills and Rogers found in their studies of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, the degree to which seventeenth century circumstances persist through the eighteenth century for many places is marked. Examination of sixteenth and early seventeenth century locations for weaving and fulling, however, do not necessarily predict the later development of the industry. The disappearance of earlier activity along the south bank of the Nene in Higham Ferrers Hundred is the most notable discontinuity and the reason probably lies in agricultural practices. The agriculture of the textile district was predominantly pastoral, leaving time to spare for by-employment. The most important textile product of the Higham Ferrers Hundred was not worsted, but lace, organised by the lacemen of Wellingborough and Bozeat. As Spenceley has pointed out, lace is made by women and girls for the most part, often the wives and daughters of arable agricultural workers.203 The Nene Valley grew grain, not sheep. A few scattered weavers may have persisted in the area to meet local demand, but there were probably insufficient spare hands on which to build an industry. Map 6.8 shows the 32 parishes which had ten or more textile occupations and an involvement of at least 20% in textiles by 1777. This shows quite clearly Kettering’s pivotal position as an entrepot, on the edge of the district, rather than at its centre, with the manufacturing villages strung out along the Uplands, clustered together between the early-enclosed parishes that provided their raw material. In fact the contiguous nature of the clusters is quite striking. Bearing in mind the higher Yorkshire populations reported by Hudson, there may be an argument for suggesting that these little Northamptonshire villages could only sustain a viable level of industry by agglomerating into pseudo-towns to take advantage of economies of scale and 202 J M Neeson, ‘The opponents of enclosure in eighteenth-century Northamptonshire’,Past and Present, 105, 1984, pp120-122. 203 G F R Spenceley, ‘The origins of the English pillow lace industry’, Agricultural History Review, 21, 2, 1973. p93. 148 reduce transport costs. The clustering along the Watling Street is another notable feature, which lessens in importance as the road leaves the Uplands. It is important to note, however, that a total of 143 villages and towns across the county recorded the presence of at least one weaver, or other textile occupation in 1777. Alongside production for the market there must still have been a survival of the local producer, making goods for local consumption, still perhaps from a number of different fibres as well as worsted and outside the organisation of the sergemakers, manufacturers and master combers of the textile district. 149 Map 6.8. The major settlements of the textile district, 1777. Source: Militia Lists, 1777. 150 There is all too little evidence to establish how many of those listed in the Militia Lists were independent artisans and how many worked on materials put out to them by others. Pat Hudson predicted the type of social structure likely to be associated with the two forms of organisation, but was surprised at the low level of contrast between Calverley and Sowerby in her analysis of Hearth Tax returns. Whilst more of Northamptonshire’s textile villages exhibit a social structure akin to Sowerby than Calverley, there is enough of a borderline blur between the two to recommend caution in attempting to use these measures alone to deduce the organisational characteristics of individual villages. The identification of individuals as possible artisan weavers over most of the textile district supports the notion of a Northamptonshire similarity to the Sowerby pattern. This does not however preclude the possibility that outworkers and artisans were operating in parallel progress. So far, this examination of distribution and location factors has been based on the situation as it was at the time of the Militia Lists. Historical data has been used to consider why the industry was where it was at this period, but there has been only brief consideration of earlier production, before the arrival of worsted. Now we need to look at how the industry developed. 151 Chapter 7 The chronology of the industry. Having established the location of the textile district in Northamptonshire at a specific period and uncovered evidence for its products, it now remains to set the industry into the context of national developments and to examine its progress from origins to decline. No industry can survive without markets, and so we shall begin by considering the pattern of consumption of English textiles. In terms of value, three quarters of England’s total exports at the beginning of the seventeenth century were woollen cloths, the overwhelming majority of them going to Europe, particularly Northern Europe. Gradually, during the course of that century, the popularity of English undyed broadcloth declined in favour of lighter Spanish and medley cloths produced in the West Country. At the same time, the New Draperies of East Anglia and Devon were becoming an increasingly important export commodity, especially in Spain, Portugal and the Mediterranean markets. By the eighteenth century America was a growing market for worsteds, firstly via Spain but later directly form England. Through the eighteenth century a series of wars repeatedly interrupted the export trade, leaving manufacturers and merchants with large stocks on their hands from time to time. But the home market too was increasing with the rise of fashion and the consumer society. Textiles were an important item of consumption. . How far the growth of a consumer society during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries can be regarded as a ‘revolution’ and how great a proportion of the English population was in a position to take part in it, is, as we have seen, a subject of debate amongst economic historians. Whatever the spread down the social strata, however, there seems no doubt that more non-essential items were being purchased by more people. How far the middle classes were emulating the upper class is arguable, but the following comment of Sir Josiah Child, whilst almost certainly an exaggeration, may contain a kernel of truth, 152 Formerly gentlewomen esteemed themselves well clothed in a serge gown which a chambermaid would now be ashamed to be seen in.204 The nature of Northamptonshire textiles, could be seen to support the notion of the “middling sort” in England having both the inclination and the means to attempt an imitation of the conspicuous consumption of the leisured classes. The products of Northamptonshire looms were made for the market, not for subsistence household consumption. The types of fabric being produced: tammies, shalloons, harrateens etc. were not luxury fabrics. But to some extent they were cheaper substitutes for expensive, imported fabrics for families with moderate (or lower) disposable incomes. The patterns impressed into harrateens were in imitation of silk damask. (A similar fabric was moreen, a cheap substitute for silk moiré) Shalloons were light, inexpensive dress or lining materials in place of calico, (see below) whilst glossy, colourful tammies were a cheap alternative to silk for fashionable ladies’ dresses. As Duplessis has remarked of England as early as the seventeenth century, New lifestyles and patterns of expenditure, once established in the upper echelons of society, were then emulated by many in the middling ranks, though instead of silk, a middle class consumer would buy new drapery dyed a bold hue and given a glossy finish.205 Tammy is also mentioned specifically at the other end of our period, quoted by John James, At a County Ball given in York, in 1808, and comprising the rank and fashion of the north, the ladies were attired in tammy dresses and very gay they appeared.206 This of course begs the question of whether Northamptonshire textiles were being produced for the home or the export market. There are only fragmentary clues to their destination, but what there is, suggests they probably supplied the home market. In the Northampton Mercury in 1721, lists of textile exports from London include a range of fabrics by name, including some serge, but no tammies or shalloons. The same 204 Sir Josiah Child.

We have already encountered the essayist describing Kettering’s production “from manufacturing twenty or thirty pieces of dyed serges weekly, fell into making shalloons…and sent to London market upwards of one thousand pieces a week…”208 London was the principal collection point for English textile products whether they were destined for export or the home market. And London was expanding at a staggering rate. Wrigley has estimated population figures of about 400,000 in 1650, 575,000 by 1700 and 675,000 in 1750.209 This growth had a number of potential effects on the country as a whole, and its textile industry in particular. The rising population, resulting from both English and overseas immigration, required increasing supplies of basic commodities, including food and textiles. As has already been indicated briefly in Chapter 2, this relentless demand for grain, meat, fruit, vegetables, dairy products etc was a spur to agricultural change and development nation wide, from the Home Counties market gardening to Cumbrian store cattle breeding. Then the cultural melting pot of immigrants was a fertile source of new ideas, new tastes, innovations in fashion, lifestyles and business methods. With land values and wage levels higher in London than the provinces, it was inevitable that London’s economic role would always be in trade rather than manufacture, though some specialist manufactures were based in London – notably in luxury products such as Spitalfields silk. These luxury items were the prerogative of the nation’s elite, with rather less luxurious alternatives meeting the aspirations of the rising middle classes. The economic feedback in the provinces meanwhile provided a measure of disposable income among suppliers to the metropolis for participation in the developing consumer society as consumers, or for further investment in, among other things, the production of more consumer goods. 207 Northampton Mercury 26th June 1721, pp98,106.

While the West Country dominated the production of fine quality woollens, with Yorkshire producing increasing supplies of the coarser kerseys, the rise in importance of the New Draperies, or worsteds came to alter the map of textile production in the country. We have touched, briefly, on the potential for Northamptonshire textile products to meet the needs of the new consumers. The chief player in this market was Norwich. A leading producer of worsted fabrics even before the influx of protestant refugees in the 1560s, the city was quick to learn from the newcomers and won a national reputation for the high quality of Norwich stuffs, a range of fabrics utilising varying mixtures of combing wool and silk and sophisticated, multi-coloured woven patterns. The Norwich clothiers exhibited an outstanding talent for design and trend setting, discovering early that innovation was the market leader, and in the absence of imaginative new patterns for the season, imaginative new names for last year’s patterns would keep the trade moving. By the early eighteenth century Norwich was producing chiefly for the home market, but gradually moved into the export market as more merchant manufacturers accumulated sufficient capital to venture on long sea voyages. During the middle years of the century Norwich maintained its position as the chief producer of very high quality fashion fabrics and expanded its export markets, particularly to the Americas.210 But Norwich costs were always higher than those in Yorkshire. As the American war of Independence hit exports hard, the home market was flooded, leaving a once-paramount branch of the industry in terminal decline. Meanwhile, as Norwich was busily supplying the home market with high quality fabrics, Exeter and the Devon serge industry was growing, supplying both the home market and a quarter of England’s textile exports by 1700, with a heavier quality fabric. Although there were a number of foreign merchants involved in the export market in Exeter, a major spur to its serge industry can be ascribed to raw materials rather than producers. Devon Serge was made from a combed warp and a carded weft. 210 Trevor Fawcett, ‘Argonauts and commercial travellers: the foreign marketing of Norwich Stuffs in the later eighteenth century, Textile History, 16(2),1985,p.154. 155 The local sheep were a source of short wool (along with imports from Spain), but long wool had, in the main, to come from outside the county. Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire wool were already in demand by Norwich and the West Riding, so competition kept prices up. But Irish wool, only a short sea journey away, was equally suitable in terms of both type and quality, and was significantly cheaper. Further, with the passing of the Irish Woollen Act of 1698-99, Ireland was forbidden to export cloth so the supply of Irish wool and yarn increased. Despite an increasing demand for lighter fabrics, attempts to introduce them to the Devon industry failed. By 1790 competition from Yorkshire worsteds and Lancashire cottons were taking their toll. Despite the introduction of factory production, the industry declined. The West Riding was producing large quantities of cheap woollens, known as kersey or northern dozens in the seventeenth century, largely for export to Northern Europe via Hull. These were rougher than the serges of Devon, or the lighter woollens of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. By the 1680s however there were the beginnings of New Drapery manufacture in the Halifax/Wakefield region. Leeds still specialised in woollens and both branches developed steadily into the eighteenth century: woollens by means of independent small clothiers, buying their own raw materials and taking their finished pieces for sale weekly to the local markets; worsteds by clothiers in a larger way of business, putting out materials to a series of craftsmen and women for working up in their own homes. By 1741, Yorkshire was making large quantities of plain worsteds, and by 1772 was rivalling the Norwich district. Yorkshire merchants and salesmen travelled abroad and built their own markets rather than entrust their products to London merchants with less specialised product knowledge. By the end of the century it was the leading worsted producer in the country and going forward to embrace full-scale factory production. A comment by Defoe in 1723 prompts us to look at national legislation for clues to explain a national trend towards lighter fabrics. On the whole each worsted district was enjoying a degree of prosperity at around this time. Trade was “very active” in Norwich, Defoe noted, “owing to a recent law prohibiting the use of printed calicoes.” During the seventeenth century, the East India Company had begun importing printed calicoes from India. Though the Indian designs were at first considered too outlandish for English tastes (by the 1660s English designs were being sent out to India for the 156 craftsmen there to copy), the cotton fabric itself was hugely popular. Not only was it lightweight and brightly coloured, but it was also washable, and the colours did not fade or run with washing. This was the original chintz, and it became very fashionable for bed hangings and other soft furnishings as well as dresses. So popular did chintz become, that the Spitalfields silk weavers began to suffer from the competition, which had been made worse by the East India Company’s import of cheaper Indian silks, and they rioted in 1696. That same year a Bill was introduced into Parliament to prevent the use or wearing of, among other items, printed calicoes. But plain calico was still imported and began to be printed in England, more cheaply than the original chintz. This began to be a challenge to wool textiles, …whereas before the Act only the rich could afford calicoes, and therefore the poor still wore woollen goods, now the plain calicoes could be printed in England so cheaply that even the poor could afford to be in fashion.211 In 1701 import duties were imposed on plain calicoes, and increased in 1704 and 1708. Later, in 1712 and 1714 excise duty was imposed on domestically printed calicoes. Still the woollen trade pressed for further action until in 1721 the Calico Act made it illegal to wear calico cloth. The lighter worsteds were substituted for the cotton fabric, as well as fustians, a cotton and linen mix explicitly legalised by the 1736 Manchester Act. It was not until 1774 that the wearing of all-cotton cloth was legalised, and the passing of a series of Worsted Acts from 1777 (Yorkshire), including Northants in 1784, may be seen in the light of a reaction to the reappearance of an old threat.212 But this time the competition was home-produced. Machine-spun cotton yarn and the adoption of the flying shuttle (resisted by weavers until the introduction of uniform mill-yarn) combined to produce cheap, good quality fabrics comparable with fine Indian calico. The outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars in the 1790s hit the export industry at a time when the West Riding was equipping the worsted industry with some of the mechanisation developed initially for cotton and adapted for wool. Though there was still a block to total factory production of worsteds until a means of machine combing 211 212 Pamela Clabburn. The National Trust book of furnishing textiles.1988. Martin Daunton. Progress and poverty. Oxford, 1995 157 could be perfected, the volume of production in the North easily outstripped all other textile districts. With export markets blocked, the home market was flooded. To summarise, throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the most outstanding feature of the textile industry was the drive to lighter fabrics. As the stiff, padded fashions of the reigns of Elizabeth and James I gave way to the more fluid lines of the later seventeenth century, the East India Company supplied cheaper imported silks and calicoes with which the home textile industry had to compete. The woollen branch turned to importing fine, Spanish wool for light medleys and the production of cheaper ‘Spanish cloth’ from English wool. The worsted branch produced the sensational Norwich stuffs, mixing silk with finely spun combed wool for lustrous colours, along with many other light stuffs of varying qualities. Plate 9 shows samples of a range of Norwich stuffs. Perhaps Samuel Harlock’s ‘figured pieces’ were like some of these, but they are a world away from most of the Northamptonshire products. These supplied not only clothing, but also soft furnishing, which, with the spread of glazing, and improved building techniques, also followed the trend to lighter fabrics with better draping qualities. As well as the home market, much of the export market south of Northern Europe was also better satisfied with the lighter fabrics. 158 Plate 9. Norwich stuffs 159 That home-grown wool was losing out to imported cotton and silk can be conjectured from the drive to secure the Calico Acts, following which the home industry enjoyed some measure of protection from the competition. Under this protection the level of goods produced for both home and export rose steeply and the growing Metropolis of London handled much of this as it satisfied the growing and increasingly sophisticated constomers of the rising consumer society. Through a steady succession of wars in the eighteenth century, the export trade suffered a number of setbacks, culminating in the blockades of the Napoleonic Wars, which were to prove terminal for some textile districts. On the home front, Yorkshire and Norwich slugged it out, Norwich winning out on quality, while Yorkshire overcame on price. The consumers made their choice, and price triumphed. The Northamptonshire experience Not part of one of the major national worsted regions, Northamptonshire can be seen as a component of the Midland Plain, where Kerridge has pointed to the three principal jersey towns of the late seventeenth century, namely, Kidderminster, Coventry and Kettering. 213 John James, drawing on observations by Defoe in the 1730s, maintained that, “Kidderminster was the seat of the moreen and damask manufacture and all sorts of bed furniture and hangings.”214 Kerridge added to the list, among others, tammies and harrateens, and by 1735, woven carpets.215 James quoted Defoe again for Coventry’s chief products by 1738, “the manufacture of tammies is their chief employ, and next to that the weaving of ribbons of the neatest kind.”216Of Kettering, James noted both the remarks of the anonymous pamphleteer in 1741, observing the expansion of Kettering production (quoted in Chapter 1) and Defoe’s identification of the town with shalloon production.217 Thus we see evidence for the Midland production of tammies and harrateens before they make an appearance in the 1777 Militia Lists. Further, at this early date Kidderminster and Coventry were 213 E.Kerridge, Textile manufactures in early modern England, Manchester 1985. p.64 John James.

Their accuracy can be tested by comparison with evidence provided by the main data sources being used in this study. Contemporary references. In 1633 a Northampton physician, Dr James Hart, lamented the decay of the old Northampton cloth trade and praised the attempt of Alderman John Denbigh who had, at his own expense, endeavoured to revive the industry, The which, if well followed and recorded by others and neighbours in the country, would further set forward so laudable an enterprise, it would in short time prove no small benefit both to the towne and countrie, and by this means many poore might well be set a worke who now are forced either to begge their bread or else labour hard at knitting stockings, which will not furnish them with browne bread to fill their hungry bellies, especially in these hard pinching times.218 The attempt came to nothing, but the reference to pauper knitting suggests a parallel with neighbouring Leicestershire. Alderman Denbigh might have enjoyed greater success had he built on the existing core of knitters and improved their organisation rather than attempting to resurrect the trade in a product for which there was no longer a market. He may, to some extent, have done this, for the second edition of Camden’s Britannia in 1695, reports, The manufacture of cloathing, it is said, was formerly attempted with great application, and came to nothing, but there is, at this time, a considerable return from Northampton and other towns by the manufacture of stockings, and in others serges and shalloons do now employ many hands.219 and later describes the “well traded market-town” of Kettering, where “at this time no less than one thousand eight hundred hands are said to be employed in the manufacture of serges and shalloons.220 From this period, Kettering clearly overtakes 218 James Hart, Diet of the diseased (1633).@p149, quoted in the Victoria County History of Northamptonshire, volume 2, 1906, p332. 219 Camden, J. Britannia, 2nd edition, 1695, p.511 220 Camden, Britannia. p519 161 Northampton as the centre for textile production and stockings no longer figure in descriptions of the industry. In 1712, John Morton reports the supposed origin of the industry. Kettering, another of our first rate Market towns, is a Place of great Trade, and very full of people, both which are owing chiefly to the woollen manufacture, introduced and settled there, about 50 years ago, by Mr Jordan, whose Posterity now manage a considerable Part of it.221 Benjamin Martin, writing in the second half of the eighteenth century, repeats Morton’s claim for John Jordan as the instigator of the industry and suggests a figure for the number employed at the time of writing. [Kettering] has a good woollen manufacture of serges, shalloons and tammies, in which, it is said, 2,000 hands are constantly employed. This trade was first introduced by Mr John Jordan in the last century, which the inhabitants have industriously improved.222 By the end of the century Donaldson was describing the decline of the industry in the county. …this manufacture was in the highest perfection it has ever attained at the beginning of this present war. A very considerable number of persons were employed, in the different branches of it, at that time. It is difficult to form any probable guess at the number, but perhaps from 5,000 to 6,000 would not be an extravagant calculation. At present not more than half that number of persons are employed in it.223 So a picture emerges of an industry introduced into the county in the third quarter of the seventeenth century, building to a peak in the second half of the eighteenth century, then, perhaps quite abruptly, declining by the century’s close. It is interesting to note that Morton’s estimate for the date of introduction – 50 years before the date of the Natural History of Northamptonshire (1712) - is 1662, the date of Fuller’s comment, quoted in the previous chapter about Northamptonshire’s wool production massively outrunning its textile manufacture. Idle speculation might suggest that it may have been a reading of Fuller’s observation that spurred John Jordan into action! 221 Morton, Natural history, p26 Martin, B. The Natural history of England, vol.2, 1763 p125 223 Donaldson,J., General View of the Agriculture of the County of Northampton., Dundee, 1794, p11 222 162 The Jordan Family It may be more likely, however, that it was a combination of family connections and a keen appreciation of the potential for the parable of the talents. The surname Jordan is found in a number of parishes in Northeast Northamptonshire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from Great Oakley and Blatherwyck through Collyweston to Castor. It was in the late seventeenth century that Norwich became increasingly desperate for supplies of combing wool and there is evidence in both the Marriage Licence Bonds and probate records, of a body of substantial combers at Peterborough, the earliest in evidence anywhere in the county, concerned to add value to the raw material before it left Northamptonshire.224 The combing operations they built up represent some of the highest valued textile estates at the turn of the eighteenth century. The inventory of Henry Wingfield junior of Peterborough in 1705 includes the item ‘At Yarmouth: sold by Mr Bayly one pack of combed wool, £15.’This suggests that Wingfield may have been in the business of buying up other combers’ produce before shipping it to Yarmouth, which was a quicker route to Norwich than over land.225 Coincidentally, in 1737, a William Jordan was to marry a Mary Bailey at Peterborough, though it is unclear if either of them were directly related to textile families. In the previous century Henry Butcher, a Peterborough comber had married Elizabeth Jordan (also of Peterborough) who may, or may not have been related to John Jordan’s family.If the first John Jordan, however, had been aware of the combing developments through kin in the Peterborough area, he may have contemplated the possibility of turning a profit from adding a further value to a commodity which was causing the steady depopulation of much of the land to the north-west of Kettering, overcharging the remaining open villages (and perhaps even the town of Kettering itself) with a supply of poor and underemployed labour. By bringing together the raw material and the idle hands, he had the beginnings of a new industrial concern that was lacking only expertise. There were already able weavers in the area, some at least of whom were versatile enough to switch between the weaving of wool, flax and hemp (See below, p58). Travelling combers could be used to prepare the wool until home-grown ones could be trained. But the techniques and 224 NRO, Marriage Licence Bonds: Gilbert Parvour,1685; John Kington and Antony Poulston, 1687; Robert Deacon, 1689; Henry Butcher, 1690; Antony Apperley, Stephen Bunting (surety for Apperley) and Jonathan Palmer,1699. 225 NRO, Peterborough inventory, Henry Wingfield jun. 01.11.1705. 163 hardware needed to produce the new, fashionable serges and shalloons may have had to come from Norwich. It is tempting to speculate on the occupation of William Hail, ‘a Norfolk man’ who was buried in Kettering in 1733226, particularly in the light of a property deed dated 1719, in which Thomas Haile of Ravensthorpe, woolcomber, bought a house in that village which, the following year he settled on his intended bride, with the support of Matthew Haile, of the same place, also a woolcomber.227 Their sister Elizabeth, in due time, became the grandmother of Matthew Hail Ward who was to appear in the 1777 Militia list as a harrateen maker. John Jordan’s part in the introduction of textile manufacture to Kettering was almost certainly an organisational one. He is never described as a sergemaker. In 1687, when he took the lease of Thornby Grange, he was described as, John Jourdan of Thornby, clothier.228 But the Jordans were never a Thornby family. The only two occurrences of that name in the parish registers record the death of John in 1704, and his widow Sarah two years later229. His burial entry describes him as a grazier. The move to Thornby looks like a retirement, with the grazing business perhaps a less strenuous means of employing his capital. In the meantime his son William, born in 1660, may have stepped into his shoes. William’s occupation is not given at his first marriage, in 1683, but as a widower, two years later he was called a clothier when he married Bridget Freeman, a daughter of the Vicar of Cold Ashby.230 In 1699 William was named as a trustee in the will of his brother in law, Thomas Sedgwick, Rector of Stanhoe in Norfolk231. In 1707, John Jordan II, William’s son by his first marriage, was styled a gentleman when he married a daughter of the Rector of Arthingworth.232 The family do not come across as the stereotypical industrious dissenters of the industrial revolution! John Jordan may have set the industry running, and succeeding generations of his family certainly took their part in it as it developed. But for a sense of the chronology of that development, we need to look in detail at the data derived from our main 226 NRO, Kettering Bishop’s Transcripts – Burials William Hail a Norfolk man, 26.08.1733.

Occupational data from the three sources will give some impression of the changes taking place over time in the Northamptonshire industry, while more detail, quarried from probate inventories, Quarter Sessions records and items from the Northampton Mercury will contribute further. The period covered by the main probate sequence at the County Record Office, namely 1545-1857 will be examined in four sections: firstly a consideration of what sort of textile making may have been going on in the county before the Jordan family’s arrival on the scene. This will be a study of the probate records up until 1685. Secondly, the origins and early growth of the industry will be explored by means of probate and marriage licence bonds, supplemented by other sources when useful, up until 1760. Thirdly, the period of ‘greatest perfection’ described by Donaldson, already covered in some detail in Chapter Three, will be set in context, showing how earlier growth had stalled by the 1780s, leading to the fourth period – decline into the nineteenth century. Period 1: Before the introduction of worsteds, up to 1685. 186 textile workers are identifiable from their wills or inventories in the period 1545 – 1685. The range of occupations provides some clue to the sort of manufacturing that may have been going on in the county during this period. Later we shall pull out more detail. There were 137 men described as weavers, one webster and one broadweaver. If the latter was weaving broadcloth, then that distinctive description would suggest the others might be producing something else. That much of it may have been woollen textiles is attested by the appearance of seventeen fullers and four shearmen, while a single dyer completes the list of what might be seen as the finishing trades. At the other end of the business are two wool merchants, six woolmen and thirteen wool winders, and some of the raw materials they handled may have come the way of the three hosiers whose wills survive. This obviously does not represent all the textile workers in the county for over a century, but there are some basic inferences to be drawn from the data. The pivotal occupation here is fulling. This process is only used on woollen cloth, not worsted. The solitary dyer suggests that some of the fabric produced was not being sent white to market, though much of it may have been. The three hosiers do not seem to 165 represent very substantial stocking production but show that there was some knitting being undertaken during this period.233 An analysis of the 56 probate inventories included within this sample tells us more. Of the 48 weavers, not all of them apparently possessed looms of their own. Where looms are mentioned they are generally in the plural, usually two, but there are eight instances of three and two of four. This would allow for one loom to be worked by a master, one by an apprentice, and others by journeymen (who might also be sons of the master). These last may be identified with the loomless inventories. Individual inventories cast just a little light on the sort of textiles that were being produced at this time. Thomas Eastwood in 1636 had a piece of woollen cloth 20 yards long at the fuller’s when his inventory was taken.234 In addition he had unspecified ‘cloth’, but also one and a half tods of wool, ‘hemp at home and abroad’ and linen yarn. Were his looms producing some sort of union cloth such as linsey woolsey, or was he turning out linen cloth on one or more of his four looms and woollens on the others? Thomas Parker, in 1638, left one specified loom as a bequest along with ‘my 33 woollen and three pair of linen geares’ suggesting that he was accustomed to set up the loom in a number of ways to make a range of products from different raw materials.235 John Liddington in 1668 had hemp in the house so perhaps the piece of new cloth listed in his inventory was linen.236 But besides his three looms he also owned a woollen wheel. He could, of course have been making coarse linens exclusively, whilst his wife or daughter was spinning the clip of the 15 sheep also mentioned. Similarly Robert Roe in 1683 had a woollen wheel, but also a linen wheel and a parcel of hemp yarn as well as two looms.237 He may have been working up the hemp yarn produced by one female member of the household on the linen wheel, while another used the woollen wheel to convert the fleeces of their four sheep into woollen yarn. This may perhaps have been put out to another weaver in the village. (There was one, Henry Gore of the same village had his inventory taken just a few years later in 1696. He too had two looms, but no yarn, nor any other evidence for 233 See p54 for Camden’s mention of stocking manufacture in Northampton and other towns. NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry will, 2nd Series, C, 217. 235 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry will and inventory, 2nd Series, A, 70. 236 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry inventory, bundle (no number), 24.12.1668. 237 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry inventory, bundle 12. 234 166 what he wove.238) The most specific product information appears in the will of William Hammants in 1614 where, among other looms, he leaves a ‘hiling lumbe’, not a description this writer has encountered before, but presumably a particularly wide loom on which to weave a bedspread in one width with no seaming needed.239 John Love, a woolwinder who died in 1632 may have been thinking of just such a loom when he left his niece ‘a tod of lockes of ten shillings price [50p] to make her a hilling’ (No wool is listed in his inventory, but he did have 11 sheep, not really enough though to raise a tod (28lb)240 of ‘lockes’ or short wool from the fleeces.241 So there is clear evidence of weaving going on in the county in the century before the introduction of the new draperies and of individual craftsmen perhaps used to producing fabrics from different raw materials. It is notable that hemp is mentioned several times but never flax, suggesting the linen being produced was of a coarse quality. Weaving must have produced a reasonable living for so many wills to have been made, but weaving may not have been their sole occupation. About half the inventories include a mention of crops and/or livestock, and in 29 cases the crop/livestock values are greater than the capital equipment or stock in trade listed. This points to the comparative ease with which an individual might set himself up as a weaver, in terms of basic equipment and materials. A loom is valued, on average, at about a pound, compared to a cow at three. It is hard to come to any conclusion about any formal organisation of manufacturing before the introduction of the New Draperies from many of the probate records, but Thomas Eastwood’s operation sounds like manufacturing for the market, almost a small-scale clothier, fifty years before the advent of the Jordans. Wool measured in tods suggests it has yet to be sorted for spinning, ‘hemp at home and abroad’ indicates that he is putting work out to spinners and the length of cloth at the fuller’s is presumably expected home before being sent to market. The raw wool, spun yarn and woven cloth in the inventory indicates ownership of the materials at each stage of processing. This is not a weaver commissioned to take in neighbours’ yarn and return them finished fabric. The introduction of worsted manufacture into Northamptonshire 238 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry admon and inventory, bundle 54. NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry will, 2nd Series, R, 202. 240 See p41for clarification of the weight of a Northamptonshire tod. 241 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry will and inventory, 2nd Series, I, 118. 239 167 may have brought in the novelty of combed wool as a raw material, but not, apparently, the concept of the putting out of stages of textile manufacture. That was already happening in the first part of the century. Reference has already been made to female spinners in the household. An all-too-brief fragment suggests that female weavers were not unknown. The badly mutilated will of Ann Church in 1641 raises many questions, ‘to Emme Harris… piece of linen cloth that she and I made togeth…242 Did women generally weave as well as spin? How common was it to share the work? Where was the loom, and where had it come from? Was Ann or Emme a weaver’s widow carrying on a family business? This may be an example of the kind of household production undertaken by women which was later superseded by market purchase as women spun for money wages. The sharing of the task calls to mind the neighbourly sharing referred to by Steve King in his study of textile townships in Yorkshire (see Chapter 2). Whatever the situation, the will is a valuable reminder of the invisibility of so many textile workers throughout the period. Period 2: The introduction and development of worsteds, 1685-1760 The occupations contained in the Marriage Licence Bonds from 1685 to 1760 are a useful means of tracing the progress of manufacturing as the New Draperies arrived, belatedly, in Northamptonshire. Most of the key occupations are represented within the first decade, but the first framework knitter appears only in 1705 (the first hosier is found in 1687; he may have been dealing with handknitters or framework knitters too poor for will making, or even, perhaps, female), and the earliest woolstapler is 1731. Disappearances are as significant as introductions. There is a neat crossover of woolmen and woolstaplers, the first fading out as the second almost bursts on the scene, and the fullers decline as the combers rise. The total number of textile occupations occurring in the Bonds is shown in table 4.1. Those names appearing more than once as sureties have had second and subsequent entries disregarded so that particular occupation totals are not distorted by their inclusion, though where the same 242 Northampton Wills 2nd Series L149, Anne Church, proved 1642. 168 name appears to change occupation over time, both occupations have been counted. For example, Daniel Wills of Northampton stands surety in 1746 as a comber, but when he stands again in 1754 it is as a woolstapler. This may represent a father and son with the same name, pursuing different careers, or it may be that one man has looked at the state of trade, considered his position and made the decision to move into a new (more profitable? field). Either way, the progress of the industry is more clearly reflected by counting both occupations.

Fwk – Framework knitter. Table 7.1 Key textile occupations shown in the Marriage Licence Bonds, 1685 – 1760. It will be seen that the increase in numbers of weavers and combers, though not mirroring each other exactly, both show a steep rise in the first decade of the eighteenth century. Combers rise more sharply than weavers, finishing at their highest level in the final decade of Bond coverage. The significance of this may be connected to the concurrent steep rise in framework knitters in that same decade. The steady appearance of just a few hosiers seems unrelated to the incidence of framework knitters, suggesting that hand knitting may have been of more importance for most of this period. The relative rise and decline of woolmen and staplers and of fullers and combers has already been mentioned, but it is difficult to discern any relationship 169 between totals of clothiers and sergemakers. Dyers show little change from beginning to end. From these figures we can infer a steady increase in the quantity of manufacturing overall, with the manufacture of combing wool assuming considerably more importance over time. The numbers of hosiers and framework knitters are seen to be of little significance beside the weaver and comber totals. Some of the occupations are attached to men from outside the county. Half a dozen from London include a hosier, a dyer and an ‘oyleman’, perhaps illustrating trade connections generated by the growth of the capital. Others show possible connections with other textile centres. John Lucas, a weaver from Essex, took a Northamptonshire bride in 1706, and Thomas King, a weaver from Suffolk, stood surety for him243. Other bridegrooms included James Maxey of Exeter, woolcomber, in 1752, John Webb, a Somerset cardmaker in 1717, Henry Warren, a Norfolk merchant in 1719 (supported by a Gloucester merchant as surety).244 A Norwich comber, John Day, took a Peterborough bride in 1702 and in 1725 Ben Dennison, a clothier from Leeds married a girl in Welford. However, the largest contingent of textile occupations from out of the county were those from Coventry: nine grooms and two sureties came from this city between 1703 and 1750. These included the earliest framework knitter to be mentioned in the Bonds. (Thomas Wall in 1705 – the earliest two indigenous framework knitters both appear in 1708.) Five Coventry weavers appeared between 1703 and 1748, and two dyers, in 1706 and 1750, with a clothier in 1712, a clothworker in 1723 and a comber in 1739. Coventry was much the nearest of the other textile centres so it is no surprise that more grooms with textile occupations came from there than anywhere else outside the county, but this in itself raises another question. Assumptions have been made that the impetus and expertise for the introduction of the New Draperies in Northamptonshire came from Norwich, but is there evidence for Coventry influence on the industry? 243 244 NRO, Marriage Licence Bonds: John Lucas and Elizabeth Barwick, 03.05.1706. NRO, Marriage Licence Bonds: James Maxey and Martha Maile, 14.04.1752; John Webb and Elizabeth Ogles,15.08.1717; Henry Warren and Mary Young, 16.09.1719; John Day and Bridget Tompson, 12.09.1702; Benjamin Dennison and Christian Pollard, 09.08.1725; Samuel Barton and Elizabeth Dudley, Joseph Barton , surety, 07.10.1703; Thomas Wall and Susanna Cox, 13.10.1705; James Harris, surety in Harris/Westley, 27.03.1706; Caleb Copson and Elizabeth Sutton, 29.02.1712; William Mason and Mary Osborne, 06.12.1718; Edward Smart and Mary Butlin, 28.02.1723; William Marston and Sarah Walker, 05.10.1724; John Miles and Mary Wood, 25.10.1739; Thomas Sadler and Mary Green, 14.06.1748; Thomas Villers and Anne Chadwick, 24.04.1750. 170 The strongest support for such a speculation is the presence, among the list of Northamptonshire products, of tammy, a fabric being made in Coventry from the seventeenth century.245 And then there is the incident of the unfortunate Mr Treslove, the Northampton tammy maker, suffering assault and robbery in 1721 on his way home from Coventry market (see p.153). But on balance, the weight of evidence still falls on Norwich. Serges and shalloons were the two fabrics particularly noticed by contemporary observers, not tammy, and the woolcombers, on whom all this long wool manufacture depended, seem to have been coming from the East. We have already speculated on a connection between the William Haile, Norfolk man, buried in Kettering, and the woolcombing Hailes of Ravensthorpe, and now we have a Norwich comber marrying in Peterborough. The Marriage Licence Bonds between 1685 and 1700 show eleven combers in Peterborough and only seven in the whole of the rest of the county; not one to the West of the A5 (Watling Street). It is now time to turn to the probate inventories and look at the early Peterborough combers. There are five inventories, dating from 1690 to 1716, relating to Peterborough combers.246 They are all very full, and show probate values ranging from just over £90 to nearly £200. Two of them, those of Henry Wingfield senior and junior, may refer to the same house. The room descriptions are not identical, but this may be the result of alterations during the eleven years which separate them. They contain the only mentions of a comb shop. Ben Clace, in 1690 appears to have had no dedicated workshop, no wool, no combpots, just a pair of combs worth seven shillings, listed among the furniture in the parlour chamber. He is both the earliest and the wealthiest of this group of combers and he leaves us guessing about how he went about his business in the nine rooms of his house. He may of course have been an elderly man, living in retirement on the substantial wealth from his earlier exertions. John Troughton is also something of a mystery. Worth about half as much as Ben Clace, his modest four-roomed house contained wheels, yarn and three lengths of cloth, two woollen, one serge, but no combs. The following year, Anthony Apperley 245 246 Keridge, p.64. NRO, Peterborough inventories, Benjamin Clace, 13.03.1690; Benjamin Troughton, 12.04.1705; Henry Wingfield jun., 01.11.1705; Antony Apperley, 30.01.1707; Henry Wingfield sen., 13.10.1716. 171 left combs, with wool and yarn in the wool chamber of his seven-roomed house, his total inventory worth about the same as John Troughton’s. The Wingfields also had a wool chamber as well as a comb shop, and the 1705 inventory included a ‘new room’ which contained eight tod of fine and coarse noils. The wool chamber had a sorting table, various sortings, over a pack of fine, combed wool and seven gross of yarn, with scales, pack cloths and baskets. In the comb shop, along with four pairs of combs and combpots were two gallons of neats’ foot oil, the only mention so far found in the county of a specific type of oil. Further, there were items listed ‘in Mr Johnson’s house at the Causeway ‘ and ‘at Yarmouth’. The later Wingfield had a greater value of wool in the wool chamber, but less carefully described, with the scales and baskets, while his combshop contained combed wool with ‘workin tools and benches’ and there were thirty pounds in his debt book. His total inventory was worth about thirty pounds more than his predecessor. The house(s) contained ten and nine rooms respectively. From the sortings, the yarn and the lengths of cloth, we can see here the early entrepreneurs of Northamptonshire textiles. These are men with sorting skills, or with the resources to buy in the skills, to deal with raw wool direct from the grower, or purchased by the fleece from woolmen (an occupation for which no evidence has been found in the immediate area of Peterborough). They are putting the combed wool out for spinning and in at least one case, possibly putting out yarn to weavers. They are perhaps the prelude to the Kettering sergemakers. The earliest Kettering sergemaker in the Marriage Licence Bonds is William Wallis in 1694, described as a serge manufacturer,247 with a dozen more up to 1754. Another dozen are scattered around the Kettering area with two in Northampton and another two in Wellingborough. Most of these are concentrated into the first two decades of the eighteenth century, suggesting perhaps a certain amount of jockeying for position in those early years before Kettering clearly held its position as the principal manufacturing centre. On the combing front, however, Peterborough had more difficulty holding its position. By 1730 it was being overtaken by a poor village in the West of the Uplands, with twenty-one mentions of combers in the Bonds as opposed to twenty in Peterborough. By 1760 Long Buckby’s pre-eminence in combing was established, as 247 NRO, Marriage Licence Bonds, William Wallis and Sarah Warner, 07.02.1694. 172 instances of Peterborough combers dwindled to twelve for the period 1731-1760, while those at Long Buckby numbered thirty nine. This interesting change of location cannot be easily explained. However it may be connected with the distribution of woolmen in the Guilsborough Hundred. In the period up to 1700 there are ten Bonds for Guilsborough woolmen, three of them in Long Buckby. After 1700 there are only two more instances in Long Buckby and none in the rest of the hundred, though the numbers in Northampton show an increase. The timing may be purely coincidental but it is tempting to speculate that the country woolmen were being squeezed by those, perhaps in a larger way of business, in the town and chose to respond by moving into combing. For the moment it is sufficient to notice the increase in absolute numbers over the period. It cannot be assumed that with the introduction of worsteds, no other fibres were converted into textiles in the county. But evidence for fibres is hard to come by. Only three weavers among the probate records have their occupations qualified by fibre: William Pridmore,248 in 1738, is described as a jersey weaver, Thomas Dalby,249 in 1786 as a linen weaver and Thomas Harris in 1848 as a silk weaver.250. Inventory evidence suggests that the majority of weavers were working in wool or jersey, but Thomas Aldwinkle (1710) left no wool, only ‘goods in the flax shop’, so he must have been a linen weaver.251. In 1681, Thomas King had looms, cloth and linen yarn – was the cloth woollen or linen?252 Others appeared to be working in a mixture of fibres. Thomas Eastwood’s 1636 inventory lists, among other items, a tod and a half of wool, four looms, cloth and linen yarn, ‘a piece of woollen of 20yd at the fullers, Hemp at home and abroad’253. In 1681 Richard Rappit254 left looms with linen yarn and wool and Job Gibbes255, a loom, wool and hemp. In 1725, the inventory of Edward Sanders256 listed 25lb flax yarn, 36lb hemp yarn and 28lb woollen yarn. Some of these yarns may have gone into union cloths such as linsey woolsey but there is evidence for the versatility of at least two early seventeenth-century weavers from 248 NRO Peterborough wills, William Pridmore, 13.11.1738: will; 09.11.1738: inventory NRO Northampton wills, Thomas Dalby, 20.02.1786: will 250 NRO Northampton wills, Thomas Harris, 23.06.1852: will 251 NRO Peterborough wills, Thomas Aldwinkle, 09.08.1710: inventory. 252 NRO Northampton wills, Thomas King, 23.11.1681: inventory 253 NRO Northampton wills, Thomas Eastwood, 02.12.1636: inventory 254 NRO Northampton wills, Richard Rappit, 06.04.1681:inventory 255 NRO Northampton wills, Job Gibbes, 12.01.1681: inventory 256 NRO Northampton wills, Edward Sanders, 17.02.1725: inventory 249 173 their probate records in the fittings for their looms. Edward Nuell257 in 1633 left one pair of linen sleys and 8 sets of woollen, while Thomas Parker258 in 1637 left 33 woollen and three pairs of linen gears. They were apparently in a position to set up their looms to produce either linen or a range of woollen cloths. The very full inventory for John Cook, a Rothwell weaver in 1731, lists money owing to him ‘for two linseys’ as well as nine pairs of wool cards. These were presumably for preparing short staple wool or more likely the noil waste from combing (‘nile’ yarn is also listed) for the single long wheel in the shop, while the four little wheels, also in the shop, would have been used to produce the linen yarn (also listed). The unbalanced spinning capacity is perhaps explained by the ‘niles delivered to work folks’ mentioned towards the end of the inventory. A further wheel, type unspecified, appears among the items in the House, or hall. This raises the question of who was using the shop wheels – family? apprentices? employees?259 Evidence for named fabrics also appears in the probate records for non-specific occupations. In the 1730s one weaver and one comber had linseys included in their inventories. In the case of the comber, John Sumpter, they were listed along with tammy and stuffs.260 In 1748 another comber left lastings, baragons and tammies.261 In 1697 John Davison died with 18 pieces of ‘straynering’ on his hands.262 This was probably a coarse, unglossed type of tammy. In 1760 William Billington left tammy gears, ‘wrought’ tammies and ‘pieces unwrought’.263 This may have signified the glossing process which finished tammies between heated metal plates. Thomas Mott’s will in 1746 left his son ‘…two looms in the shop, one a shag loom’.264 In 1774, John Newton had included in his inventory three morines worth £4.4s (£4.20) and one dyed morine valued at £3, suggesting that dyeing added considerable value.265 Just one inventory, that of woolcomber Antony Apperley of Peterborough in 1707, lists a stock of stockings: 10 dozen of women’s and four pairs of men’s.266 257 NRO Northampton wills, Edward Nuell, 12.02.1633: will and inventory NRO Northampton wills, Thomas Parker, 27.05.1638: will; 02.04.1638: inventory 259 NRO Northamptonwills, John Cook, 02.06.1731: inventory 260 NRO Northampton wills, John Sumpter, 23.06.1739: will; 20.06.1739: inventory 261 NRO Northampton wills, John Askew, 12.11.1748: inventory 262 NRO Peterborough wills, John Davison, 09.12.1697:inventory 263 NRO Northampton wills, William Billington, 19.11.1760: will; 27.02.1761: inventory 264 NRO Northampton wills, Thomas Mott, 15.09.1746: will 265 NRO Northampton wills, John Newton, 22.09.1774: inventory 266 NRO Peterborough wills, Antony Apperley, 30.01.1707: inventory 258 174 The stock of Wellingborough clothier, John Sanders, inventoried in 1738, gives valuable pricing evidence for different fabrics, though sadly not many of them identifiable as Northamptonshire products. ‘Cloth’, presumably woollen, ranged from 24d [10p] per yard to 9d [4.25p], ‘freeze’ from 16 -18d [c.8p], while shalloon and callimancoes were both priced at about 9d [4.25p], hemp cloth at 6d [2 .5p] and ‘lincy’ at 8d [c.4p].267 This does however indicate the position of Northampton’s staple textile of the time (shalloon) within a price spectrum. What we see principally in the years 1685 – 1760 is a steady rise in the numbers involved in textile manufacturing with an increasing emphasis on combing and a decline in fulling, demonstrating the transition from ‘subsistence’ weaving for local consumers to commercial production for the market. At the same time, a transition from woolmen to staplers argues for a tighter organisation of raw materials too. The staplers and sorters, concentrated in Northampton, might be better understood as raw material suppliers to the Kettering manufacturers, responding to the industry’s increasingly specialised demands by delivering wool ready-sorted. In 1755 an advertisement in the Northampton Mercury apparently made a bid for a greater share of manufacturing employment within Northampton. WANTED An honest, sober, steady person, who is thorough master of every branch in the worsted manufacture, from the wool to the piece, particularly in most or all these articles, viz. fine tammies, shalloons, lastings, batragons, cheneys, harrateens &c. His constant employment (under the inspection of his master) will be putting out and taking in combers, spinners and weavers work and to make proper provision for the workpeople employed in each of these branches. Such a person (by sending directions where he may be spoke with, to Mr William Jackson’s, surgeon and apothecary in Northampton, and leaving at the same place a suitable character in writing, attested by some person or persons of credit) may hear of a place. N.B. No person will be accepted of but such as hath a competent knowledge in every branch of the business above mentioned, but particularly in sorting of wool for combers, sorting of yarn for weavers; he must also understand bobbinning, doubling, twisting, warping, weaving, mounting of looms both for 267 NRO Northampton wills, John Sanders, 06.05.1738: will; 27.05.1738: inventory 175 plain and figured works &c and must also be a single person, or one of a small family that he can leave behind him without inconveniency – No letters will be answered, except post paid.268 It may be coincidental that this followed the death, early in 1754, of Edward Cave, whose pioneering cotton mill in Northampton subsequently fell into decline, presumably throwing numbers of women and boys out of employment. Whether the Mayor (William Jackson) was motivated by a desire to reduce unemployment in Northampton, or to rival Kettering’s growth in textile production is unclear. Whether the position was ever filled is also unknown, but the levels of textile occupation in Northampton as recorded in the Marriage Licence Bonds showed no significant increase after 1755. This is a period of dramatic and then steady growth, particularly in combing, with a decline to vanishing point of those occupations, such as shearing and fulling, associated with short wool cloths, illustrating graphically the arrival in the county of the New Draperies and production for distant markets. Period 3: The ‘greatest perfection’, 1762-1786. The era of ‘greatest perfection’ is covered by the Miltia Lists (1762-1786). Because of the relative comprehensiveness of the Lists, there is an opportunity to trace the progress of the industry at its supposed zenith and spot the beginnings of the decline. Table 4.2 shows the total textile occupations for each year, with an indication of the number of hundreds with lists surviving for that year. At this stage no allowance has been made for those villages listed without occupations. Year Number of Hundreds covered Total textile occupations 1762 12 832 1771 17 1593 1774 16 1604 1777 19 1494 1781 17 809 1786 3 101 Table 7.2 Textile occupations listed in the Militia Lists It is impossible to form an accurate view of the numbers really involved year by year from these figures, where whole hundreds are missing in some years, and odd villages 268 Northampton Mercury 18.08.1755, p.79, col.2. 176 in others. A better sense of the trend of the industry will come from looking at individual hundreds with continuous coverage. No single hundred is covered consistently from 1762-1786, as has been discussed in Chapter 3, but there are a number from 1762-1781, and the two covered in 1786 are covered without a break from 1771. The dilemma of the missing occupations can be resolved by splitting the difference of the totals on either side of the break. While not totally accurate it is likely to produce a truer reflection of the situation than substituting another year’s total, or leaving it out altogether. Table 4.3 shows totals for the years 1762 – 1781 for three hundreds with significant textile activity, with the adjustments made for missing occupations. Hundred 1762 1771 1774 1777 1781 Corby 248 194 195 201 156 Huxloe 219 297 246 260 122 Rothwell 246 212 246 231 230 Totals 713 703 687 647 508 Table 7.3 Textile occupations for three selected hundreds 1762-81 These totals suggest that the heyday of the industry was rather earlier than Donaldson may have believed, with a steady decline from 1762. Table 4.4 shows totals for the two hundreds covered up until 1786, where the pattern looks similar. The decline shown beginning in 1781 in table 4.3 can now be seen confirmed and getting more serious.

Textile occupations for two selected hundreds 1771-1786 It is pertinent at this point to draw a parallel with the situation in Norwich, as reported by Arthur Young in 1771. …and some among them complain, because they have not so great a trade as during the war; for then they could not answer the demand, it was so uncommonly great (from 1743 to 1763 was their famous era.) This was, however, owing in some measure to many manufacturers exporting so largely 177 upon speculation, that the markets have been overstocked ever since, and have occasioned that falling off which has been perceived since…269 At a national level, 1774 saw the passing of an Act of Parliament legalising the wearing of all-cotton cloth270 and also an Act addressing the problem of false reeling, a precursor to the first of the Worsted Acts in 1777 (for Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cheshire.) A Worsted Act for Northamptonshire was not to follow for another seven years, but a campaign for it raged sporadically in the Northampton Mercury, led by the Kettering Manufacturers. If over-production had been general in the middle years of the century, leading to a stagnation in demand, then the added threat posed to the home worsted market by the newly legalised cotton may have been severe enough to elicit this response from manufacturers fearful for their profits. The disruption to trade caused by the American War of Independence was to become a further pressing cause for their concern. The Act was fought for by Kettering manufacturers but resisted by combers and others in the Long Buckby district, who claimed the support of the ‘Landed Interest’ The combers claimed that the Worsted Act would impoverish the spinners, whose wages presumably augmented family budgets, relieving the ‘Landed Interest’ of the necessity to pay living wages to their labourers. The two camps perhaps symbolise a traditional and modern approach to manufacturing A notice in 1773 warning spinners against false reeling for ‘manufacturers in Coventry, Harborough, Kettering, Norwich and other places’ was placed by Mr William Wills of Northampton, on behalf of yarnmakers who had subscribed a shilling towards the advertisement.271 So that nobody may be imposed upon, through Ignorance by these Pests of Society, who, by their Injustice, add to their own Poverty by undermining the Foundation of so valuable a Branch of Trade to the Poor of this Nation. This was perhaps an early indication of manufacturers being rattled by a downturn in trade. The following year, combers were up in arms at being asked to double comb 269 Arthur Young, Tour to the East of England in the year 1771, vol.2, pp74-82, Letter XII, quoted in James, p.270-1.(Young’s italics) 270 Daunton, Progress. P545. 271 Northampton Mercury, 18th October, 1773, p125, col.3. 178 wool without an increase in the price paid for the work. A group of them toured the county, soliciting money to help them maintain their families. This elicited a furious response from a group of manufacturers, one from Rothwell, the others from Kettering, who inserted a notice in the ‘Northampton Mercury’ To acquaint the Public that the Price they are offered will not in the least injure the Men. The following week, the combers raised enough money between them to publish a rejoinder to the manufacturers.272 What became of the dispute is not recorded. Other than some heated correspondence against the Lincolnshire Petition to export English wool (which yielded the useful costings used to illuminate production levels and working practices in Chapter 3) the Northampton Mercury showed little interest in the textile industry until 1782, when a meeting was advertised to discuss the prevention of false reeling at a Daventry inn, and the resolutions of that meeting reported, not from Daventry, but from Long Buckby.273A report of a similar meeting in Kettering was reported in the following month.274 But it was a meeting in Market Harborough, eighteen months later that began the rift between Kettering and Long Buckby. There, a preference for seven-laid yarn over six-laid was expressed, sparking a heated correspondence between the Kettering manufacturers, in an alliance with those of Northampton and Market Harborough and one John Nixon, a turner from Long Buckby. How this individual came to be the mouthpiece for the Long Buckby combers is unclear, but he took an almost operatic delight in taunting ‘The Kettering Junto’ and ‘The Jack Pudding Junto or Market Harborough Buffooons’. The bone of contention between the two sides was not an outright opposition to legislation against false reeling, but a proposal to standardise reeling with other counties. This would oblige spinners to reel seven-laid yarn instead of the six to which they were accustomed. Nixon claimed this would result in lower wages for the spinners, the Kettering committee denied this would be the case. 272 Northampton Mercury, 21st November 1774, p154, col.4; 28th November 1774, p158, col.4. Northampton Mercury, 13th May, 1782, p39, col.2; 27th May, 1782, p47, col.2. 274 Northampton Mercury, 10th June, 1782, p54, col.3. 273 179 At a meeting in a Long Buckby inn, appropriately named the Bishop Blaze275 subscriptions were raised to oppose the Kettering petition. The names of the collectors of subscriptions, and their parishes offer a view of the textile district beyond the Kettering hinterland: Mr Ed. Butlin, Spratton Mr Devonshire, Byfield Mr Thomas Robinson and Mr Wm Mawby, Long Buckby Messrs Hall and Newton, West Haddon Mr Thomas Butlin and Mr Matthew Hail Ward, Ravensthorpe Mr Ed. Cave, Cold Ashby. By June of 1784 the Kettering Committee had lost patience with ‘the Gentlemen of the Woollen Manufacture in Long Buckby and its Vicinity’. In the absence of any assistance in obtaining the Act, We will not for the present give ourselves any more trouble about it, but buy as much yarn as we can in those counties where it is inspected.276 A lull in the conflict is punctuated by a notice from a West Haddon Society of Weavers, echoing some of the sentiments of the Rothwell Stuff manufacturers of the previous year. They were concerned to limit entry to the trade ‘for the good of the trade’ by limiting Masters to one apprentice and insisting on a seven year term. In a time of declining markets, limiting numbers of producers may have been seen as a way of maintaining prices by reducing competition. By the end of that year the Kettering Committee had spread their net more widely, addressing spinners and reelers in half a dozen neighbouring counties, warning of the strict execution of existing legislation (helpfully quoted by Mr Nixon some months earlier), and appointing unofficial inspectors in each county, with an appeal for support to all putters out. The following month, something of a truce appears to have been declared and in a report of a meeting at Kettering in January of 1785, four resolutions were recorded. 275 Bishop Blaise was the patron saint of wool combers. The inn was presumably named in honour of a leading source of employment in the village, but the spelling of the bishop’s name changed to the nearest recognisable English equivalent. 276 Northampton Mercury, 7th June, 1784, p54, col.3. 180 Firstly, that a Petition for a Bill should be presented on behalf of eight counties and the Isle of Ely; secondly, that the terms of the Bill should not cover wool used to make stockings; thirdly that reeling should remain unchanged, either six or seven-laid to be continued in each county as was customary; and lastly that subscriptions in support of the Bill be collected by representatives in Huntingdonshire, Bedfordshire, Royston, Ely, Uppingham, Hitchin, also Mr E Buswell and Mr John Satchwell, Kettering, Mr John Baker, Northampton, Mr Bosworth, Market Harborough and Mr Thomas Robinson, Long Buckby. Within twelve months the Bill was introduced, enacted and the conviction of the first spinner under the Act was reported in the newspaper.277 ‘Watermill spinning machines [were] not to be subject to the provisions of the Act.’ This term no doubt referred to the water-powered spinning frames operated by worsted manufacturers like Samuel Waddington of Kettering, and mentioned in his will.278 Such frames were always likely to be in the control of the manufacturers or their associates. That an Act of Parliament was required to extend control over a scatter of poor women is a measure of the loss of confidence of the manufacturers, or a want of management skills. The period which saw the highest recorded levels of textile occupations in probate records in Northamptonshire and which Donaldson saw as the industry’s ‘highest perfection’ was also a period of great upheaval in the national industry. The anxiety which may be inferred from the behaviour of the manufacturers may have been sparked by the decline of an apparently supreme Norwich, as Yorkshire undercut prices and moved in on markets. Or the resurgence of cottons may have recalled the efforts of an earlier generation fighting for the Calico Acts. The diversification of some of the Kettering manufacturers into (and occasionally out of) silk, also suggests a loss of confidence in worsteds. So although there was the largest ever percentage of the county population employed in textile manufacturing at this period, the writing was perhaps on the wall, and a few observant individuals were reading it. 277 25GeoIII Chap40, An Act for more effectually preventing frauds and abuses committed by persons employed in the manufactures of combing wool, worsted yarn and goods made from worsted in the counties of Bedford, Huntingdon, Northampton, Leicester, Rutland, Lincoln and the Isle of Ely; Northampton Mercury, 31st January, 1785, p191, col.2; 11th June 1785, p74, col.3; 21st January 1786, p185, col.4. 278 NRO, Northampton Archeaconry will, Samuel Waddington, 01.08.1825. 181 Period 4. Decline and aftermath. Much hope may have been pinned on the Northamptonshire Worsted Act, but as trade was hit by the Napoleonic War, hundreds were put out of work and bankruptcies proliferated. George Ringrose of Welton, who had optimistically taken out a mortgage to extend his working premises and build himself a warehouse, was calling himself a manufacturer in 1783.279 By 1801 he was listed with other local bankrupts in a letter from a Kilsby family complaining of hard times to relatives in Sheffield. …People can scarcely live here. The young ones go for soldiers and the old ones starve at home. Trade is very very bad – we pay a levy every 10 days… Mr Mawby has broke for 20,000. all the little weavers but 7 have broke and both weavers and combers are out of work… Mr Ringrose of Welton has broke…280 The reflections of a Clipston curate who kept a brief, informal journal in the back of a parish register, offer a particularly vivid view of the decline281 June 1st 1815 A few years back Clipston abounded with tammy weavers, winders and spinners. That business failing and nearly annihilated by the war, Providence being kind to us cotton weaving succeeded here and flourished much for some years and the females instead of jersey spinning, especially the girls, found great advantage from lacemaking which was happily introduced among them and now instead of earning by hard running at the wheel 2s or 3s a week, some get 7s or 8s in that time. The reference to cotton weaving is intriguing and the only reference so far encountered by this writer, to rural cotton weaving in Northamptonshire. The mention of alternative employment for women, but not for men, was a portent of further poverty to come.Little evidence has been found for the use of cotton in Northamptonshire beyond items in the Northampton Mercury relating to the ill-fated Northampton Cotton Mill (ably documented elsewhere by David Bates).282 The cotton yarn from the Northampton Mill in its second incarnation, up to 1806 presumably supplied the Clipston weavers, and probably those of other textile villages, but in the absence of helpful curates or other record-keepers, we may never know which, or how extensively 279 House deeds in possession of Mrs Hill, of Welton. NRO Rd(K) 101 Letter of Jan 1801. 281 NRO, 70/P3, Clipston Parish Register 282 David L Bates, "Cotton-spinning in Northampton: Edward Cave's mill 1742 -1761," Northamptonshire Past and Present 9 (1996, 1996), David L Bates, "Cotton-spinning in Northampton: the Gibson and Forbes Mill, 1785-1806," Northamptonshire Past and Present 51 (1998, 1998). 280 182 Meanwhile, in Kettering Vestry Meetings there were vain attempts to set the poor on weaving out of town stock as the Poor Rate soared above twenty shillings in the pound.283 [13.11.1805] …It was proposed to know how to employ all the poor spinners and weavers that are or may be out of work between this time and Easter next. At this Vestry came Thomas Fidgen and John Haddon and made proposals of employing them all, providing the parish officers would lend them £400. Subsequent Vestry minutes suggest the project was unsuccessful. The decline may also be tracked in the only surviving business records for a Northamptonshire textile firm - a wool account book and bundle of letters for Wilsons of Kettering, covering the period 1786-1829.284 The account book shows payments made for sortings, pack sheets and other items, including packs of ‘blue’ and ‘tine’ wool – terms used in sorting wools for hosiery rather than weaving, but the most illuminating information comes from the jottings inside the cover, which hint at the spread of contacts outside the county, often with a note of their business. Included among those listed we find Hindes and Patchett, Dolphinholme near Lancaster, worsted mill spinners; machine worsted makers in Leicester, buyers of sorts in Leeds, a hogg buyer in Bury St Edmunds and noil buyers in Wantage, a Halifax yarn and wool buyer and a Norwich wool and yarn factor. These are jumbled together with many others in no sequence and without dates. Consequently although it demonstrates the wide area over which the firm did business, there is no indication of whether all areas were being covered concurrently or whether the focus of attention shifted over time. The letter bundle is more helpful in this respect. There are little more than a dozen letters, but the pattern of addresses is clear. The first, dated 1797, is from London. Addressed to “Messrs Wilson and Son, Manufacturers, Kettering”, it is an apology for the non-payment of a bill for £25 3s 6d but contains no mention of the goods sold. Two other London letters of the same year mention orders for striped jersey and callimancoes and ‘middle tammys’. The London correspondence terminates in 1800 in acrimony over unpaid bills. A gap of several 283 284 NRO Kettering Vestry Minutes, 1797-1853. Northamptonshire Record Society, vol.VI.p.20. NRO ML3059 ZB310/3 Willson’s Wool Account Book, 1786-1829. 183 years follows with the next letter, in 1807, from Leeds. This complains of poor quality tammies (possibly a bargaining ploy, perhaps a true reflection of the kind of goods being sent out from Kettering at this time). The factor reports the sale of some tammies to a person who ’says he has better goods from Andrew of Harborough at less price,285 they are really ill-made goods besides the mildew.’ Another letter from the same factor in the following year contains a telling postcript: ‘I think I could sell your wooll much better than ps [pieces].’ The final letters in the bundle, commencing in 1817 concern the sale of wool to Leicester. The last letter in the bundle, a brief covering note for a payment, concludes: ‘The stocking makers are still out of work consequently we are flat as to sales although no alteration in prices.’ Wilsons had been weaving in Kettering for over a century. As weavers, manufacturers, a sergemaker and a comber, members of the family had taken an active part in the Kettering trade. But the nineteenth century found William Wilson a woolsorter in 1804286and by 1820 Matthew Wilson was a woolstapler. Their business records show that inexorably from the 1790s the business turned away from textile manufacture towards supplying wool and yarn; first to Yorkshire, and then to the framework knitters of Leicester. Wool was still grown in Northamptonshire but the manufacturing of it was moving out of the county. A graphic illustration of the aftermath of the decline can be seen in a late Militia List surviving for Long Buckby. In 1777 there had been fifty two combers and twenty seven weavers listed in the village. By 1819, there were just three combers and one stapler. There were fewer farmers too, but more blacksmiths and many more labourers (forty four, compared to twenty). With hindsight we can spot the most significant introduction, though nowhere near to replacing what had been lost: in 1819 there were two leathercutters and the ranks of the shoemakers had doubled, from eight to sixteen. Weaving had never been as important as combing in the village and the remnant of combers and the stapler suggest that Long Buckby’s experience mirrored that of Kettering: the emphasis was on raw material production rather than the manufacture of pieces. The progress of the industry was similar at both ends of the textile district. As the trade dwindled and textile jobs disappeared, what became of those who had 285 There is evidence for textile manufacturing in Market Harborough by the end of the eighteenth century, see, Unversal Directory of Leicestershire and Rutland, 1791. 286 NRO, Kettering Bishop’s Transcripts. 184 come to depend on the money income from this work? In the short term many of them suffered great hardship. But their dependence had habituated them to the discipline of the workshop, and over the course of the nineteenth century the Hundreds of Hamfordshoe, Higham Ferrers and Huxloe, which had all been part of the top quartile shoemaking district, were now joined by textile towns and villages, such as Rothwell, Desborough and Long Buckby, as well as Kettering and Northampton, in a new and expanding footwear district. Until the second half of the nineteenth century, the footwear industry remained workshop-based, like textiles. One has to wonder if footwear production would have expanded quite so much as it did, without the nowforgotten textile industry to prepare the ground for it.287 Conclusion The graph showing total textile occupations over the whole period of the probate records (Figure 7.1) gives a picture of the growth and decline of the textile industry as a provider of standards of living high enough to generate estates to bequeath. 100 80 60 40 20 0 Totals 15 40 15 s 80 16 s 20 16 s 60 17 s 00 17 s 40 17 s 80 18 s 20 s Total textile occupations Textile occupations in probate records 1545-1855 Decades Figure 4.1.

As an indicator of total numbers engaged in the industry, it may be misleading, as the ratio of those leaving wills to those too poor to do so probably changed over time. The 287 R L Greenall, A history of Northamptonshire, Darwen County History Series (London and Chichester, 1979).p.102. 185 early peak, in the second and third decades of the seventeenth century, may have arisen from local weavers, like Thomas Eastwood, taking advantage of the falling price of wool to begin a little independent production for the market; or it may have been a kind of fall-out from those attempts to introduce weaving into Northampton as an employment for the poor, mentioned by contemporary writers.288 If the first, the weaver-testators may represent most of the textile activity in the county at the time; if the latter, there may have been a larger proportion of poorer journeymen, invisible in this class of records. The Northamptonshire industry flourished for about a century, at the time when the manufacture of worsteds nationally was growing rapidly. Export markets were expanding at this time and Norwich, Devon and Yorkshire were in a position to move their products overseas easily through the ports of Yarmouth, Exeter and Hull. Landlocked Northamptonshire did not share that advantage. There was a lively market in London as the fashion conscious consumer society grew and spread throughout the provinces. The fashionable were more likely to delight in the colourful and everchanging designs from Norwich, however, than the more modest and predictable products of Northamptonshire. At least Kettering’s shalloons and tammies were relatively inexpensive, but in comparison with the West Riding, Northamptonshire’s output was small and thus did not enjoy Yorkshire’s economies of scale. So Devon had both an export and a home market to switch between as trade conditions fluctuated; Norwich, though in decline, had a reputation for high quality and innovation; and Yorkshire could offer cheaper prices. In addition the attractions of the light worsteds were paling in the face of the re-entry of cotton on the fashion scene in the 1770s. The fabrics produced in Northamptonshire were, for the most part, at the cheaper end of the market, used for inexpensive clothing and domestic soft-furnishing purposes, with some specialisation in cheap imitations of luxury fabrics. Ominously, Robin Thornes remarks of the Yorkshire industry, ‘cheap cottons came to replace cheap worsteds for everyday labouring clothes’ at the end of the eighteenth century289. He might also have mentioned the rising popularity of colourful (and washable) 288 Camden, Britannia, 2nd ed.,1695, p.511; J Hart, Diet of the diseased, 1633, p.149, cited in Randall, p.314. 289 Thornes, Noble scene. 186 cottons for soft-furnishings such as bed curtains. The popularity of cotton fabrics in both clothing and furnishing were a threat to the Northamptonshire industry. Printed, washable cottons must have made the largely monochrome products of Northamptonshire look rather tired and dreary in comparison. As war loomed at the end of the century and export goods backed up at home, there was not even the prospect of profiting from supplying the military. Glossy tammies were hardly the thing to march to war in, and harrateen bed curtains would not have been ‘wanted on voyage’. On all sides the Northamptonshire industry was the loser, and no-one in the county appeared to have the talent, or the inclination, to do anything about it. . 187 Chapter 8 Aggregate to individual – the experience of manufacturing. The aggregate information which has been used so far to distinguish the location and chronology of the textile industry is vital for placing textile manufacture in the context of the county economy, but much detail is lost in the process. It is this detail that offers insights into the very varied experience of those who made all or part of their living from textile manufacture, correcting the impression of homogeneity suggested by the county figures. These people experienced a range of living standards, working conditions and family circumstances, which influenced preference, choice and any decision-making during their lifecycles. How they responded to the options open to them may offer a perspective on contemporary perceptions of Northamptonshire textiles quite different from twenty-first century 20:20 hindsight. (We know what was coming, they didn’t). This chapter will look at the impact of manufacturing on people by three stages. Firstly, by concentrating on the Textile Hundreds, or in some cases the whole county, a range of wealth, poverty and living standards will be established as a yardstick against which to measure individual experience. Evidence from probate records will be used, with other sources, to reconstruct working premises and detect any patterns which may emerge across the textile district. Looking at each textile village in detail is beyond the scope of this study, but a small number of sample villages will be examined. So the second stage will focus on these sample villages, together with the town of Kettering for comparison. Data from probate records and the Militia Lists will be used to compare occupational diversity within each community and highlight differences in the character of communities. These will also offer clues to the working of the kinship economy through the association of occupations and surnames. 188 The use of multiple source nominal record linkage has been used to great effect by Steve King and others in the study of textile communities290. Though the combination of any sources may be revealing, much confusion can arise without the anchoring effect of parish register data. Since the gathering of these data for even the sample villages was too time-consuming for the purpose of this exercise, a single village will form the basis for the final micro-study. This third stage will strive towards some understanding of the interaction between the dynamics of rural industry and the economy of the family and kinship group. Wealth, poverty and living standards. As a means of assessing the economic impact of textile manufacture on its participants, the probate records represent only a small fraction of the total number of textile workers in the county. Nevertheless, they offer much data to illuminate a view of living standards and relative wealth. The very making of a will suggests a degree of financial independence, whether or not the probate value of the estate was recorded. The following study is based on a total of 901 wills, admons and probate inventories covering the whole county, of which 570 come from the ‘textile hundreds’. Fifty five of these are from Kettering, which, with a further thirty nine from Northampton and twenty from Wellingborough will be used as an urban contrast to the rural situation. Splitting these totals into two periods; up to 1660 and from 1661 allows a more meaningful analysis of the New Drapery period. Wills from the earlier period are predominantly those of weavers, with some woolmen, fullers, other finishing trades and, in Northampton, a hosier or two. In the later period the textile hundreds together with Northampton and Wellingborough represent 76% of the county’s textile wills. This is where the exploration of living standards will concentrate. Initially, the number of post –1660 weavers’ and combers’ wills were counted for each Hundred. A total of 441 wills were concentrated quite unevenly among the six Hundreds, with Guilsborough and Rothwell leading the field and Corby and Huxloe bringing up the rear. These simple totals however take no account of the varying 290 S King, Record linkage in a proto-industrial community, History and Computing, 4, 1992, pp27-33; Multiple source record linkage in a rural industrial community, 1680-1820, History and computing, 6, 1994, pp133-141. 189 populations of the hundreds, or their relative levels of involvement in the textile industry. Since there are no data offering accurate figures for textile involvement across the hundreds for the whole period of the probate data, the best comparison that can be made is by using Militia List data as a benchmark. As such it offers a unique way of estimating the relative wealth of different parts of the textile district. For this exercise the 1774 Militia Lists were used, since they cover all the textile hundreds with the fewest missing occupations. 21 occupations in all were counted for the whole county, but many of these were single instances, such as the quillwinder and reedmaker. To simplify calculations, numbers of weavers and combers only were used in the comparison at this stage. The results showed Guilsborough and Rothwell clearly both the most textile-involved as well as the greatest producers of wills. There was a neat crossover of the other hundreds in two pairs: Huxloe and Corby had a middling textile involvement but the lowest will-making figures, whilst Fawsley and Nobottle Grove, with the lowest textile involvement had a considerably higher level of will-making. By comparing the percentage difference between the two totals for each hundred it is possible to measure relative will-making inclinations. Assuming that the more wills that were made relative to the Militia List occupations the higher the average wealth of textile workers, the hundreds were ranked in order of the number of wills made per hundred textile workers listed in 1774. This ranking puts Nobottle Grove at the top with 59% and Huxloe at the bottom with 23%. There may have been some extremely prosperous individuals in the town of Kettering, in Huxloe Hundred, but they were outnumbered heavily by those leaving no will at all. While circumstances varied from village to village, Huxloe and Corby (at 27%) are the best candidates, by this measure, for the outwork end of the textile district. Using the same method with totals for the whole county, we are able to compare rural and urban experience by looking at the percentages for urban textile occupations. Of the total of 749 textile wills for the county as a whole, only 100 were made in the urban centres Kettering, Wellingborough and Northampton, suggesting that only 13% of the county’s textile testators were urban. Calculating the number of these urban testators against the Militia list figures, as above, gives an average of 16%.. This would suggest that weaving and combing were overwhelmingly rural occupations and that most urban weavers and combers were generally poor, or for some reason outside 190 the will-making culture. It could be that, living in a town, they were more likely to be living in rented accommodation with little or no land at their disposal and easy access to purchased foodstuffs and other necessities through the town’s markets and shops, so less inclination for keeping livestock and the equipment and materials associated with dual occupation, which might have made will-making more necessary. Searching wills and inventories for evidence of livestock and/or crops reveals a relatively clear pattern of some seventeenth century instances, mostly in Guilsborough Hundred, with others in the early eighteenth, most notably in Corby Hundred, with least in Fawsley and Nobottle Grove. The latest examples appear in Rothwell Hundred, with evidence for a single Kettering sergemaker keeping pigs, poultry and a stock of hay in 1741.There is little indication of widespread dual occupation among rural weavers and combers, though these findings do not preclude a reliance on common or customary rights among textile families. Some textile occupations however were considerably more urban-oriented. Both sergemakers and woolstaplers showed high percentages of urban incidence: 76% of woolstaplers and 86% of sergemakers were urban in the 1774 Militia Lists. In probate terms, 74% of sergemakers and 59% of woolstaplers who made wills were urban. We have clearly seen, in Chapter 6, that sergemakers, mostly in Kettering, appeared to be the key organisers of production and that woolstaplers, largely from a Northampton base, were the principal suppliers of raw materials. This is an appropriate point to go beyond counting numbers of wills towards looking at recorded probate values for more detail in the differentials of place and occupation. Averaging those values for four occupations across the county, we find a mean weaver’s estate at £28, a comber’s at £79, a sergemaker’s at £127 and a woolstapler’s at £574. Here is a graphic illustration of the urban/rural divide, and a support for the theory of urban organisation of rural production, as reflected in Wykes’s observations that in Leicestershire framework knitting was largely organised from the towns291 291 Wykes, "The origins and development of the Leicestershire hosiery trade." 191 As the data stands, Guilsborough Hundred has the highest number of textile wills(172), while Fawsley Hundred enjoys the highest average probate values (£82), among the rural hundreds. Even with the inclusion of Kettering, Huxloe hundred produces only 97 wills at an average value of £94. If Guilsborough Hundred produced almost twice as many wills as Huxloe, at a lower average value (£69), the suspicion is strengthened that there were more small, independent artisans in this part of the textile district, while Kettering held a smaller number of wealthier putters-out with a large population of textile workers too poor to make wills. Urban values are generally higher than rural. Wellingborough, not a very significant textile producer, averages only £35, but the figure for Kettering is £95, and that for Northampton, £171. It must be said here that only just over half these records include a probate valuation, so any conclusions drawn here may be skewed by even a few instances of unrecorded prosperity. There are twenty five testators, of a variety of occupations, with recorded values of over £500. These range from Joseph Peach, a woolstapler of Northampton with £5000 in 1804, down to John Buckby, a Rothwell weaver in 1724 with £570. John Thurlby was an early, rural sergemaker, worth £700 when he died in 1716. Joseph Jennings, a woolcomber who died in 1748, came from Eydon, well outside the textile hundreds. He was perhaps well placed to serve the scatter of weavers on the Northamptonshire edge of the Banbury industry, with his horses and pack sheets and almost half his estate tied up in his trade creditors. .Apart from these last three, all the high valuations date from late in the eighteenth century to well into the nineteenth, the latest being William Wilson, a woolsorter of Finedon who died worth £800 in 1855.292 This group is dominated by the seven woolstaplers and eight combers who, by the early nineteenth century, were finding more customers in Leicester and Yorkshire than they were at home. Room names in probate inventories. Given the change in the value of money from the late seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries a simple list of values is not perhaps the best way of assessing living 292 NRO Northampton Archdeaconry Wills: Joseph Peach, Admon, 06.10.1804; John Buckby, will, proved 29.09.1724; John Thurlby, inventory, taken 14.05.1716; Joseph Jennings, inventory, taken 30.08.1748; William Wilson, will proved 01.01.1855. 192 standards. 90 probate inventories for a variety of textile occupations, ranging in date from 1630 to 1822, but mostly concentrated around the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, include room-by-room valuations. These offer an opportunity to study room numbers, and to some extent to infer use by contents and the room names applied. Bearing in mind that the period covered by the majority of the inventories was also a time of rebuilding and modernisation of the housing stock, room names also indicate possible levels of modernisation enjoyed, and perhaps initiated, by textile workers.293 Of the 90 inventories, which come from all over the county, not just the main textile district, that of Henry Shatswell of Litchborough, weaver, has no room listing, but mention of ‘a loft that is over the shop’, so he may be counted among those with a workshop but must be excluded from other room counts.294 Given that the other 89 houses had at least one ground floor room, generally called the hall or the house, and one first floor chamber, any additions to this basic minimum suggest increasing levels of comfort and sophistication. The inventories were divided by date (at 1685) to isolate those which were unlikely to have been influenced by the introduction of the New Draperies. These amounted to 30, of which three were fullers, one was a clothworker and 26 were weavers. Of the fullers, two had five rooms: one of them an old and a new kitchen, suggesting some rebuilding, but apparently no workshop. The third had only two rooms and a workshop. There is only one surviving inventory for a fuller after 1685, and in 1717 he had only three rooms besides his shop. It would be tempting to point to this as an illustration of the decline in demand for fulling, but that would be hanging a lot on one inventory. The range of comfort enjoyed by post-1685 weavers spread from ten rooms and a shop down to two with a shop. Nine of these weavers had no shop. Seven of these had no loom mentioned in their inventories so may have been journeymen who worked on looms elsewhere in a master’s shop. Richard Hook’s loom was listed, in 1729, with other items in his kitchen so he probably worked there. In 1692, John Harrison’s two looms were listed at the end of 293 Sarah Pearson ‘Hearth taxes and the building stock.’ Local Population Studies no.68 Spring 2002. ms Pearson makes the point that the number of hearths at the time of the Hearth Tax is not necessarily an indicator of social status without taking into account that newly built properties were likely to have more hearths than their older counterparts. While her data concerns towns in Kent, the point may well be valid in rural areas also, where kitchens and parlours may have been added to old halls, or newly built. 294 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry Admon and inventory, Henry Shatswell, 20/29.08.1667. 193 his inventory, after the hay in the yard. It is impossible to know now whether they were standing in his hall, parlour or kitchen, or whether there was a workshop in the yard which the appraiser omitted to mention, or indeed if they had been moved out into the yard ready for collection or disposal. (There is no will with the inventory to suggest who might have inherited them.) Of the seven woolcombers for whom inventories survive, three had no workshops listed, but there is a significant difference between the weavers and combers without shops. The weavers are relatively poor; five worth less than £20 and the other two less than £30. The combers, on the other hand, are much wealthier, worth around £100 or more and may be seen as part of a tendency for some master combers to become entrepreneurs on a par with the sergemakers. If journeymen weavers left estates worth enough to be inventoried, this would suggest that in the first half of the eighteenth century at least, the textile industry was capable of providing an adequate living for those below the level of entrepreneur or master. The majority of the inventories included a room designated as a workshop; far fewer had a room described as a ‘shop chamber’ or ‘chamber over the shop’, suggesting that in many cases the shop may have been an outbuilding rather than a room within the house proper. Where there was a shop chamber, this was most likely to contain beds and bedding, at least until the 1720s, when, in a few instances, warping bars, wool and yarn begin to appear among the contents of this room, indicating a degree of division between living and working. Of those with multiple shops, there was only one instance of a shop chamber, suggesting that these larger (and more prosperous) concerns may have had a complex of working buildings separate from the house. There are no instances of multiple shops before 1685, but over twenty workshops without chambers over them before that date, so the practice of separating working from living premises would appear to pre-date the introduction of worsted manufacture. Fifty one of these properties enjoyed the benefit of a parlour. This development was least in evidence in inventories from the Corby Hundred. Only 27 had a room described as a kitchen. Those without a kitchen were presumably cooking at the main hall or house hearth. (Robert Lane’s house in Rothwell, in 1724, consisted of a ‘fire 194 room’ and shop, with a chamber over each, and a barn.). Although the numbers are small there seems to be some correlation between the different textile hundreds and the distribution of kitchens. Huxloe has most, closely followed by Rothwell and Guilsborough. Once again Corby Hundred is less well endowed than most. This hundred appears to have been the latest to industrialise and so may consequently have been the slowest to modernise its housing stock. One might even argue that both late industrialisation and house-modernisation may be symptoms of a more conservative approach to life among the forest villagers of the Corby Hundred than the Uplanders of the bulk of the textile district. Sample villages Villages were selected for the sample on the basis of levels of textile occupation in the 1777 Militia List and geographical spread across the textile hundreds. Six villages, together with the town of Kettering, were examined with a view to differentiating their characteristics as textile settlements. Rothwell is the largest settlement in the group, bar Kettering, and, with the smaller village of Braybrook, represents the Kettering hinterland. Corby, only a little bigger than Braybrook, lies at the eastern end of the textile district, while Kilsby, slightly larger, occupies the western edge. Flore is bounded by the Watling Street and situated on the edge of the Nene Valley. Long Buckby, also bounded by the Watling Street, is the largest of the textile villages, and as the combing centre of the county forms a western counterpoint for the weaving centre of Kettering in the east. Counting the number of different occupations listed for each settlement reveals a spectrum from the twelve in Kilsby to the sixty-seven in Kettering. Weavers were listed in all settlements and combers in all but Braybrook, a village with thirteen occupations in total. Corby and Long Buckby listed sixteen each, but not the same sixteen; they had only nine in common. Flore had twenty-one (and was the only village to list framework knitters) and Rothwell twenty-four, of which one was sergemaker. Kettering had a total of nine textile-related occupations, including reedmaker and sizer (presumably a warp-sizer), among a total of 64 different occupations. Here is a graphic illustration of the economic character of a town in comparison with rural settlements. 195 Kettering’s status as a town and as a market, gives it a nodal function where the presence of specialist occupations is unsurprising. However it is somewhat surprising to notice that, among its few occupations, Long Buckby shares apothecary, attorney and writer, or clerk, with Kettering. This large and populous village may serve a kind of nodal function in the Guilsborough Hundred, which is town-less, but if such is the case, one would expect a wider range of occupations to be listed for it. Table 8.1 shows the variation in relationships between the total number of men listed in the 1777 Militia Lists for each settlement, the total number of occupations listed. Since weaving (or combing in the case of Long Buckby) was the leading occupation in each case, the relationship between the two is in fact an indicator of the dependence on textiles in each settlement.

Source. 1777 Militia Lists By this means it can be seen that Long Buckby was the most dependent, whilst Flore had the greatest range of employment options relative to its population. Kettering, despite its reputation as the centre of textile production in the county, had plenty of other irons in the fire. As we have already discussed in Chapter 6, the nature of population movement within the textile hundreds suggests an element of migration from close to open parishes. Using the sample villages we can push the question of migration beyond numbers to names, firstly using Militia List data, which is comprehensive but late, then using probate, which covers a longer period but more selectively. Family names are used as an indicator of ‘rootedness’ within a community by breaking down the families into three groups: firstly those families with a mix of textile and non-textile occupations, secondly those families with two or more textile occupations but no other kinds of 196 occupation and thirdly those ‘unattached’ textile workers with no relative of any occupation in evidence within the settlement. For this exercise, the assumption was made that those with the same surname were related. In the case of common surnames this assumption may not be well-founded, but in the absence of family reconstitutions for each settlement, assumptions had to be made. The following table draws data from the 1777 Militia List and counts only those family names with a textile connection. Village Family names Mixed occupations Total mixed and multiple Single textile occupation 38 Multiple textile occupations 21 Kettering 133 59 74 Long Buckby 53 18 12 30 23 Rothwell 50 18 7 25 25 Braybrook 21 7 5 12 9 Kilsby 30 11 6 17 13 Flore 15 4 2 6 9 Corby 19 4 4 8 11 Table 8.2 Textile family connections, 1777. Source: Militia Lists, 1777. Table 8.2 shows the analysis of these groups by settlement. Kettering, Corby and Flore all show more unattached textile workers than those with kinship connections, Rothwell is exactly balanced between the two, while in Long Buckby, Braybrook and Kilsby, the unattached worker is in the minority. At this point in the progress of the industry, it could be that the latter villages had begun to stagnate as viable centres for independent operations, or that local entrepreneurs had moved, or diversified into other activities leaving reduced demand for outwork, while the former were still attracting migrant workers. Where a family name is associated with a mix of occupations it could be argued that this is likely to indicate an established village family, therefore, the higher the proportion of mixed occupations to single textile occupations, the more settled that village population is likely to be. A repetition of this exercise using probate data from 1685 to 1857 shows a different pattern, as might be expected since the poor are not represented in this source. 197 Village Family names Mixed occupations Total mixed and multiple Single textile occupation 16 Multiple textile occupations 2 Kettering 34 18 16 Long Buckby 29 19 1 20 9 Rothwell 26 14 1 15 11 Braybrook 11 8 0 8 3 Kilsby 10 5 2 7 3 Flore 9 5 0 5 4 Corby 8 3 0 3 5 Table 8.3. Textile family connections, 1685 – 1857. Only Corby now shows a majority of unattached testators, suggesting that in most cases it was those from established village families, perhaps over several generations, who were most likely to end their careers with disposable property. This does not preclude the possibility of course, that earlier generations of these families had migrated from close parishes and established themselves in their adopted villages over the course of the eighteenth century. Long Buckby and Kettering, as the combing and weaving centres of the county, were then used to examine further aspects of the kinship economy, since, among the other data available, the Militia Lists indicate very clearly which individuals in these settlements are excused service by reason of poverty. (This is much less clear in many other textile villages and even for Kettering the 1771 lists had to be used for a listing of the poor.) For this analysis, the names sharing occupations were divided into ‘combers only’, ‘weavers only’, ‘mixed textile occupations and ‘combers with non-textile occupations’ and ‘weavers with non-textile occupations’. In Long Buckby, of the 23 individuals with no shared name, 15 of them were combers, the other 8 weavers. Five exclusively combing families comprised 13 combers while four exclusively weaving families comprised 11 weavers. Three 198 families included both combers and weavers, a total of eight individuals. 13 combing names and five weaving names were associated with other occupations. This exercise is indicative only, since not only is a shared family name no guarantee of kinship, but neither will maternal kinship links be apparent. In addition, older family members will be excluded by the nature of the list. But nevertheless, it has value. The first analysis showed that overall the ‘unattached’ textile worker was in the minority in the village. Further, there were more names associated with mixed occupations than exclusively textile. A closer examination of the ‘other’ occupations, shows combing families more likely to have members in trades or farming (as farmers rather than labourers), whilst weavers were more often associated with lower status occupations such as servant or labourer. Following on from this, eighteen combers and weavers were listed as poor with children. Of these, one weaver had no other family in the village, as opposed to five unattached combers. This suggests that combing was not necessarily an inherently more prosperous occupation than weaving, despite apparently more high status family connections. And yet four poor weavers were attached to exclusively weaving families, against three poor combers in exclusively combing families. The remaining five poor men were associated with mixed occupation families. Though the sample is very small, there would appear to be grounds for suspecting that the combing families had a stronger family support system than the weavers, or others in the village. In Kettering, 44 of the 178 weavers were poor (25%) and five of the 32 combers (16%). Other poor textile workers, a dyer and three sorters, made up a total of 53. Of these, 17 were unattached, 17 belonged to weaving families, seven to mixed textile families, five to mixed occupations including non-textiles, one to a combing family and one to a sorting family. The surnames of five were too illegible to assign them to a family group. Again, a high proportion of the poor were unattached, and weaving families seemed to be less able to support their members than other textile trades. At the other end of the scale, the sergemakers all belonged to families which were engaged in other textile trades. That is to say, none were unattached, and none were associated with non-textile occupations, suggesting they were concerned to train up their younger generations through the ranks of weaving or combing, while Buswells apparently took care of their wool supplies with a stapler in the family, while Deacons 199 and Satchells each had a diversifying element with a silk manufacturer as one of their number. This suggests a kinship economy above the level of supporting the indigent. The idea was explored further by turning from the Militia List to the probate records. These were analysed to identify textile and ‘mixed’ families to see if there was a different pattern in Kettering from Long Buckby. For Kettering, 34 family names were associated with textile wills. Nearly half of these (16) were single instances of that name, and the same number associated with a mix of occupations. Only two had only textile connections. On the whole the textile workers seem to have been the eariest of their families to make wills, with later family members going on to become shopkeepers, plumbers, grocers and gentlemen. The exceptions were the Sparrows, who left wills as grocers before doing so as a sergemaker, Smiths ( shepherd and collarmaker), Roberts (shoemaker), Baker (11 wills before the sergemaker, from yeoman to shepherd), Bamfords (baker) and Tomson (brickmaker). For the majority therefore textiles might be seen as the foundation of their fortunes. In Long Buckby there were nine names with just a single instance, one other with no non-textile connections and 19 families with a mix of occupations. The early eighteenth century produced the highest proportions of testators associated with particular family names. The later a name made its first appearance in the probate records, the more likely it was to be attached to a single individual. So, for example, the Buntings first appeared in 1710. Out of a total of eleven Bunting wills, the textile occupations covered the period 1710-1821, while there were three other occupations between 1792 and 1833. The first and only appearance of a Darnell and a Staughton (both combers) was 1783. But the textile occupations were not necessarily the earliest occurrence of a name: a combing Robinson appeared in 1779, but two shepherds, a flaxdresser, and a yeoman of the same name all predated this. There was a similar situation with the Wadsworths (yeomen first), Lees and Matchams (chandlers), Muddimans (labourer), Rogers (yeomen), Marriotts (victualler, gentleman and carpenter, Smiths (labourers and soapmaker) and Bland (yeoman). So a higher proportion of Long Buckby textile workers who left wills were connected to families who already had a history of will-making. 200 The difference between the two could be interpreted as Kettering being the draw for enterprising young men from elsewhere, seeing the potential for a career in manufacturing and bringing their talents and perhaps some capital, into the town, while perhaps Long Buckby, with a large number of mainly small landholdings, had more of its inhabitants with a stake in the land, remaining rooted there. Those who found a degree of prosperity in agriculture or trade may have passed on enough working capital to the next generation for a modest investment in a combing business. A fuller picture of the Long Buckby Robinsons, and one Robinson in particular, can be drawn from a number of other sources, including an extraordinary poem, discovered by Janette Neeson in her research into the opposition to the enclosure of Long Buckby, to which we shall shortly return. A bundle of deeds deposited at the Northamptonshire Record Office relates to property in Long Buckby. The earliest deed in the bundle shows Edward Robinson, a woolcomber, mortgaging a small piece of land to a printer in Coventry in 1758. This mortgage is later assigned to another Long Buckby comber in 1765, the same year in which Edward purchases half a cow common and half a lot of brakes. Also in 1765, Thomas Robinson embarks on a series of common right purchases before the parish is enclosed. In eight transactions (including three with members of his own family) he buys a total of 18 cow commons and four lots of brakes.295 These rights of common were converted into allotments of just over 20 acres of land at Enclosure. In 1774, another Long Buckby comber, Robert Tebbitt, made his will, in which he named Thomas Robinson of Long Buckby, oilman, as his executor.296 This suggests that Robinson the comber had diversified into supplying the oil which must have been used in large quantities in this combing community. By 1779, when he mortgaged a farmhouse and 23 acres he was described as a woolcomber again. His will, however, proved in 1802, promotes him to ‘gentleman’, and one of his executors, John Robinson is described as a grazier. This social climbing was not confined to the Robinsons or to the period in the immediate run-up to, and following, enclosure. The poem Neeson found was a semi-literate threat to would-be enclosers published in the ‘Northampton Mercury’ in 1762, and naming names, 295 296 NRO, ZA3539-3552.

William Eyre was a comber and a Thomas Eyre left a will in 1843 as a woolsorter, possibly a descendant. George Freeman was the vicar’s son and Hubert Floyer was an apothecary. Long Buckby may have been the combing centre of the county textile district, but its master combers (or some of them at least) seem to have identified more closely with the ‘Landed Interest’ to the point of attempting to enter the ranks of the propertied classes. The practice of buying up small parcels of land had been common among the combers before the advent of enclosure. A will such as John Bunting’s in 1728 included two ‘lately purchased’ plots of land to bequeath to his two sons, with a provision for the sale of the residue of his estate to provide his widow with her ‘thirds’ and the other two thirds employed in settling land on his two daughters298. In this way, capital could be ‘stored’ and the rents enjoyed or utilised in the business. When there was occasion for liquidity, the land could be mortgaged or sold, either to another comber, or, if business was flat, to a farmer or grazier. On the enclosure of the open fields, land began to command considerably higher rents. Thomas Robinson and his colleagues were probably attracted by the promise of increased income to acquire what land and common rights they could as an extension of already established practice. Multiple source record linkage The above exploration of the career of Thomas Robinson illustrates the value of going beyond the occupational data. The analysis of surnames in a community may throw some light on the kinship economy, but where sources are limited that light may be feeble or misleading. Parish register data may also mislead, and is certainly not infallible, but they still offer a richer picture of kinship groups than most other sources. The principal drawback in family reconstitution from parish registers is the sheer amount of information to be handled. Consequently, a single village has been 297 J.M.Neeson, Commoners: common right, enclosure and social change in England, 1700-1820, Cambridge, C.U.P.,1993. 298 NRO, Northampton Archdeaconry wills, John Bunting, proved 20.04.1728. 202 selected for an exercise to combine parish registers with our three main sources and others used in the course of this study. West Haddon has been chosen because it has a high proportion of textile occupations with a good mix of weavers and combers, and also because a Northampton Mercury item isolates a group of the textile ‘elite’ within the village on which to focus in the first instance. West Haddon Society of Weavers The years of working for (or against) a Worsted Act for Northamptonshire appears to have engendered something of a committee mentality among some of those who perhaps regarded themselves as leaders in the industry. Most of the action took place in Kettering, but late in 1784 the following notice appeared in the ‘Northampton Mercury’:299 Notice is hereby given to the public in general and hope it will meet with its approbation in every parish, for the good of the trade:Whereas an Agreement was made and concluded on the 14th day of November 1784, by a SOCIETY OF WEAVERS of the parish of West Haddon, in the county of Northampton (as follows) That no Master, nor Man, shall, after this public notice teach or cause to be instructed, in the art of weaving, for no less a time than seven years, which said apprentice, or any other man that shall come to reside in the parish aforesaid shall make oath what master he served his time with, and in case it is found that he or they have not served a regular apprenticeship, any Master who shall employ such a person, then such Member or Members, shall leave the said Master and shall have 6s a week till such time that he or they can get employment of another Master – And no man to have more than one apprentice at a time. Witness our hands Roger Facer Richard Hall Edward Cave (Thornby) George Newton Thomas Facer Thomas Parnell William Page Masters Is this the brave new industrial world harking back to the old Guild days? Or simply a professional body concerned to maintain standards of work in an era when the market was tightening and maintaining or improving quality might be seen as an effective means of retaining customers. Whatever the motive for the initiative, the notice offers 299 Northampton Mercury, 15.11.1784, p.150. 203 a collection of rural names to investigate in comparison with the Kettering manufacturers. Who were all these Masters who were prepared to stand up and put their names in the paper? By combining all the sources used in this study, together with parish register entries in a multiple source record linkage exercise, the first finding is that the Masters are not all weavers. In fact, only William Page and, probably, Edward Cave were weavers. The others were woolcombers. The suspicion arises that in the Guilsborough Hundred, where a Master woolcomber was as much an organiser and manager as the Kettering sergemaker, these masters were perhaps out to curtail the activities of the independent artisans in the area. The exercise throws up diverse links between members of the Society, and also reveals the occupations of other family members, shedding light on aspects of the kinship economy. Richard Hall was baptised in 1756, a month before his father died. On the death of his mother in 1765, he was apprenticed to William Randle, a ribbon weaver of Coventry. Although he was apprenticed for seven years, he was back in West Haddon, and on the Militia Lists for both 1771 and 1774, as a woolcomber. In 1775 he witnessed the will of Ann Newton, the widow of John Newton, woolcomber, perhaps as a neighbour, perhaps as an ambitious young man continuing the Newton business until Ann’s stepson George was old enough to take it over for himself (he was four years younger than Richard). By 1778 he was sufficiently established to take a wife, Ann the daughter of William Garrett, a weaver in the village. In 1783 he bought a large house in the village, previously belonging to a substantial butcher and landowner, to accommodate both his growing family and his business. In 1784, at the Long Buckby meeting to raise concerted opposition to the proposed Worsted Bill, Messrs Hall and Newton were appointed to collect subscriptions from West Haddon. For Ravensthorpe, Thomas Butlin and Matthew Hail Ward are listed as individuals, not as Messrs Butlin and Ward, a detail which would tend to confirm the suspicion that Hall and Newton were working in partnership.300By 1790 he appeared as a trustee in a marriage settlement, described as a wool manufacturer.301 He died, called a woolstapler, at the age of 88 in the year of Queen Victoria’s accession, leaving a son 300 301 Northampton Mercury, 10th May 1784, p39, col.3. NRO ZB142/80/2 Marriage settlement of Thomas Patch, cordwainer and Mary West. 1790. 204 Richard who may have succeeded him in the business. Richard junior died a woolsorter just five years later. Beyond the witnessing of Ann Newton’s will, and the business partnership, there is no other evidence of a connection between the two families. Ann had married John Newton only a year before he died ‘she being his fifth wife’ as the marriage entry remarked. Although she was described as ‘of West Haddon’ her will contained references to male relatives in Thornby and Leicestershire. So the Edward Cave (Thornby) among the list of Masters is likely to be the son of Roger Cave of Thornby, weaver who was granted the administration of John Newton’s estate in 1774 along with Ann. There was an Edward Cave of West Haddon listed as an apprentice weaver in the Militia List of 1771, but the connection here is unclear. Once again, evidence of any connection between the Caves and the continuing of the Newton business is lacking. By 1783 George Newton probably had the business well in hand. In this year he married. His bride was Mary Facer. Her uncle had been William Facer, the woolcomber who died young and left bequests to his spinners. Her father, John was a farmer and maltster like her uncle Thomas, but two other uncles, Roger and Nehemiah, were woolcombers just like her new husband. In 1786 George joined with twelve other men from his own village, Guilsborough, Hollowell, Ravensthorpe, Long Buckby and Harlestone in the trust deed for a plot of ground on which a new chapel had been built.302 In 1795 he acted as a trustee for Thomas Healey of West Haddon, shoemaker in the purchase of a house. Two years earlier, Thomas had married George’s sister-in-law, Lydia Facer. Nehemiah Facer appears on the Militia Lists among the Poor Men with Children. By 1771 he had five children and in that year a notice appeared in the ‘Northampton Mercury’ appealing for his creditors to deliver their demands to Mr Walker of West Haddon.303 Whether he was incompetent, feckless or just unlucky, is unclear, but his brother Roger managed to escape the same fate, dying in 1790 with an estate of nearly £300. 302 303 NRO SC(W)126-7 Trust deed of a chapel at West Haddon, 16.5.1786. Northampton Mercury 04.02.1771 p187, col.3. 205 Roger’s son Thomas was also a woolcomber though too young to leave a trace in the Militia Lists, as also were his brothers whose occupations are unknown. We can only surmise that it was Roger’s son listed among the Society of Weavers, because the two other Thomas Facers on the family tree were aged eight and minus six at the time of the notice. One of these cousins may have come into the business in due course, or Roger’s son was still fathering children in 1823 when the parish register noted the baptism of a child of Thomas Facer, woolcomber. When Roger Facer made his will in 1789, he had two houses, one of which was occupied by Thomas Parnell, senior. In 1771 the Militia list shows Thomas as a husbandman. Later lists show him with his son, an apprentice woolcomber. This move into textiles may have been prompted by his aunt who, in 1763, married Thomas Spokes, a grazier, whose brothers, George and William, were both weavers. In 1793 Thomas (Parnell) married his cousin Ann (Spokes), and by 1814, when his cousin Thomas Spokes jun. made his will, Thomas Parnell is named as a trustee and described as a grazier. Links with the Page family are tricky simply because of the sheer number of contemporary William Pages – three in each Militia List, one of whom may be the West Haddon militia man who, following four weeks residence in Kettering in 1771, married Ann Warren, who may have been a sister of John and Joseph Warren, both listed as weavers in the Kettering list for that year. One of the Williams was the son of Samuel Page, a labourer, whose father Edward, described as a yeoman in his will of 1768, appointed Thomas Parnell as his trustee. Some links are tenuous, others more secure. Together they illustrate a community of farmers, graziers and tradesmen who might follow in their father’s footsteps, but equally, might not, whose marriage partners were likely to come from a similar occupational background, which in turn might influence the occupational choices made by subsequent offspring. The Society of Weavers, though not a single kinship group, was nevertheless a tight-knit social group, banding together in defence of their own as the world changed beneath their feet. The situation is neatly illustrated by the will of Thomas Spokes, grazier, in 1814, already referred to above. The testator’s two 206 uncles had been weavers, his brother in law, Thomas Parnell had been a woolcomber. The will is witnessed by George Newton, by W J Denny, an attorney of Long Buckby, and by Mr Denny’s clerk Ephraim Buswell, a name infinitely more familiar in the Kettering of the previous century among the ranks of the manufacturers. The Hipwell family do not figure among the ranks of the West Haddon masters, but enough of them left wills as a starting point for an understanding of relationships to make them a good case study for a record linkage exercise. The now familiar Militia Lists and probate records are combined with parish register entries and a bundle of property deeds to produce the following family reconstitution. John Hipwell of West Haddon married Jane Satchwell in 1697. Around the middle of the following century, at the end of a long life, he made his will, describing himself as a weaver. He had a house to leave, and a loom and other equipment and therefore a modest capital to transmit to the next generation. Five of his children had survived infancy; one daughter and four sons, of whom the eldest, his namesake, had predeceased him. He left the house to his youngest son, Richard, and his loom to Richard’s only son, another John. Additional gears and slays (demonstrating his versatility in the trade) he shared between Richard and his second son, William. His daughter Elizabeth was to share his brewing kettle with Richard, ‘for each to have the use of it when they want it’. All four of his sons had become weavers and two of them at least did well enough from the trade to leave wills. John junior had left a house to his widow and shillings to his four small children, but the residue was not itemised, so what looms or other equipment he left cannot be ascertained. While William and Richard each inherited equipment from John senior, Edward, the third son, was left only one shilling. Edward, a tammy weaver, also left a will, but no issue (his loom went to a ‘kinsman’ William Earl, also a weaver, with the residue of his estate, valued at nearly £40, going to his widow.) Possibly his father had already helped him to set up in business on his own and juged that his other sons and grandchildren needed help more. John senior had a lot of grandchildren: John junior had three daughters (both his sons died in infancy); Elizabeth, married to William Naseby, another weaver, had five surviving children, three boys and two girls; William had four offspring still living at his 207 father’s death, three girls and a boy; while Richard and his wife Rebecca had seven daughters to keep their only son company. This made a total of four boys and fifteen girls. Male earnings were generally substantially higher than female, so unless the girls married, or went into service, they were likely to become a drain on the family resources. Penelope’s marriage to Daniel Wilson, another weaver, in 1767, is recorded in the parish registers. One of the three Janes married William Scott, a shoemaker of East Farndon, and is mentioned as his wife in her grandfather’s will. No other marriages have yet been traced, but William’s daughter Ann is recorded in the parish registers as dying a spinster in 1814 at the age of 81. Despite the will-making, there are some suggestions of poverty within the family. Elizabeth’s son, Thomas Naseby is listed as a weaver in the 1771 Militia List as poor with children. His cousin William is listed among the infirm, without an occupation (‘walks limping’) and Richard’s widow Rebecca, dying in 1764 within a year of her husband, is described in her burial entry as a pauper. By 1777 another William Hipwell is listed among the poor with children. The financial strain of providing for a young family on the wages of what were probably journeymen weavers is plain. The limping William produced two sons, Edward and William, who survived to adulthood. Both are listed as weavers in the Militia lists, but Edward, with only one child, escapes the ‘poor with children’ category, in 1777. Edward married Mary Garnett, the daughter of a woolcomber who had served his apprenticeship with Thomas Haile of Ravensthorpe. His apparently poorer brother William is listed, together with Thomas Naseby, their cousin, (also poor with children), as tenants of two neighbouring cottages in 1776. But by the time of his death in 1822, William had a house of his own to leave, together with three wheels and ‘an old loom’, and, with £70 out at interest, an estate of around £100. His is the last Hipwell will. Edward had one daughter, William, seven. Neither had a son to continue the family name. This is a family with one leg in the wealthy, will-making camp and the other among the poor. They are the reality behind the phrase ‘life-cycle poverty’. An examination of the kinship group reveals the part that chance and the life-cycle might play in their fortunes. If John junior had not died so young, he might have gone on to provide for his family and perhaps take in a nephew, if not a son of his own, to continue his 208 business and perhaps, in due course, support his widow. Richard inherited his father’s house as well as some of his weaving gear. If, as is likely, he already had his own loom by the time of his father’s death, he would appear to have been well provided for, And yet his widow died a pauper. He did have a son, who had inherited his grandfather’s loom and might have been expected to tae care of his mother after his father’s death. But there were so many sisters to provide for. Limping William may have been fit enough to earn a living if not to serve in the Miltia, but his condition alerts us to the hazard of illness or disability which might destroy the economic equilibrium of a family living on the margin of poverty. Marriage connections with other textile families may have facilitated a sharing of resources, transport and business contacts (and brewing kettles), but the daughters who did not marry were at a financial disadvantage, which affected the whole family. The Hipwells were weavers through four generations, almost the whole period of this study. They presumably regarded their trade as one worth pursuing, or at least found nothing better in the offing. By learning the trade within the family, they saved an apprenticeship premium, and a little capital could be conserved by passing equipment from one generation to the next – one wonders if the ‘old loom’ William Hipwell left in 1821 had been his father’s, or even his grandfather’s. The family’s lives are an illustration of how textile manufacture kept the wolf from the door (mostly) on the chilly Uplands for more than a century. At the level of individual families there is a great diversity of circumstance in the Northamptonshire textile industry, but some pattern may be discerned. If will-making is taken as an indicator of prosperity, the relative dearth of textile wills in Kettering and Northampton suggests a preponderance of poor urban workers employed by a small elite of putting-out manufacturers; the sergemakers concentrated in Kettering and the woolstaplers in Northampton. In rural areas, though land was acquired on occasion, this seems to have been largely a means of putting out capital for the interest of rents; evidence for dual occupation among textile workers is relatively scarce. Variations in probate values across the district suggest more small independent masters in the west of the district and a smaller number of wealthier putters-out in the east, employing more, poorer textile workers. Over the period of the study, 209 woolstaplers and combers appear to have become increasingly wealthy as the supply of raw materials beyond the county grew in importance. A wide variation in the number and designations of rooms in the houses of textile workers reflects the diversity in living standards and working practices across the district. There were those who worked in workshops apart from their living quarters and those who worked within the family home. These homes offered a spectrum of levels of comfort and modernity, with those in the forest area of the Corby Hundred least likely to enjoy the graces of a parlour or the advantages of a ‘modern’ kitchen. Sample villages are not uniform in the range of occupations within them. The number of occupations is not related to their population levels, so that some, like Long Buckby, are much more heavily dependent than others on the textile industry. The workings of the family economy are seen in the support for poorer family members. Transmission of looms, skills and property from one generation to the next may have influenced surviving sons in their choice of livelihood, but the living was relatively precarious. Though there were families in which all members appeared to be associated with textiles, there were more for whom textiles were merely one employment option out of several. These families may have invested any textile profits in land and property as a hedge against trade fluctuations. This might have had the effect of reducing their dependence on the industry, and also their commitment to it. There are instances in Long Buckby of a move from textiles towards the status of grazier in the later eighteenth century, reminiscent of the Jordan family progress a century earlier. 210 Chapter 9 Conclusions John Jordan’s introduction of the textile industry into Northamptonshire, via Kettering in the late seventeenth century, succeeded where earlier attempts had failed. A project earlier in the seventeenth century to introduce textiles into Northampton town came to nothing, and Dudley’s introduction into Oundle, though lauded by Morton in 1712, has left little trace behind it. Time and place were both important in the development of the industry. These were the underlying factors which provided the fuel while Jordan, either alone or with associates, lit the match. The time was important at both the supply and demand end of the operation. Enclosures in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had steadily increased the old monastic sheep walks and resulted in greater flocks of pasture sheep, producing large amounts of wool suitable for combing, alongside village flocks, folded over the fallows where open field cultivation relied heavily on sheep dung to maintain fertility. The short wool of the fallows had been carded and spun at home by women and children then woven and fulled locally where rivers or streams provided enough flow to drive a fulling mill. The combing wool had been exported for the use of other textile regions. Demand was indirectly fanned by the playing out of the Reformation in Europe. This had produced waves of protestant refugees through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who settled predominantly in England. Native worsted industries in East Anglia and the Southeast were enriched by the different techniques and approaches from France, Flanders and the Low Countries, resulting in an explosion of innovative textiles, lighter, cheaper and more varied in design than the established English cloths. (English kerseys were cheap, but boring.) With the growth of the consumer society, and the early stirrings of a fashion industry, what the New Draperies offered above all was choice. No longer just plain old English serge, but serge de Nimes or serge de Chalon, Bocking bays and Honschoote says, calimancoes and estamines or tammies. The finer grades of combing wool, combined with silk, produced a kaleidoscope of lustrous figured and patterned Norwich Stuffs. Pattern cards were circulated around 211 the country, and abroad, feeding an insatiable demand for more, new, different fabrics. To begin with, Northamptonshire’s part in this textile revolution was confined to supplying combing wool, possibly through the universal entrepot of London, via woolmen such as Hanwell of Long Buckby and Watkyn of Draughton, possibly via the massive textile exchange of Stourbridge Fair in Cambridgeshire, even perhaps ‘direct’ – overland through Peterborough to Kings Lyn then by sea to Yarmouth for Norwich. The early rise of combing in Peterborough may have been the first instance of ‘value added’ in Northants textiles. The county could simply have moved from providing fleeces to the national industry, towards the supply of ready sorted and combed raw materials. That it did not stop there is a matter of record – the production of fabrics took place within the county for over a century. As well as the time, the place was crucial. Northampton and Oundle were both market towns. Northampton was already handling large quantities of agricultural produce and had a national reputation for horse trading. There were hosiers in town and the hand knitting of stockings provided some means of keeping the wolf from the door among the poorest inhabitants. There was a demand for more work for idle hands but perhaps the expertise was lacking – perhaps even the modest amount of capital required to set up looms and related equipment was not forthcoming. Oundle, on the other hand, was a small town with a rural hinterland more concerned with arable than pasture. Unemployment was therefore more likely to be seasonal and the numbers involved perhaps failed to reach critical mass to establish an industry. And then there was Kettering. A market town, on the River Ise, it was situated at the junction of three distinct pays within the county: the agriculturally rich centre based on the Nene Valley, the scattered hamlets of the old Royal Forest of Rockingham, and the wide open spaces of the (largely) pastoral Uplands. With a (relatively) good road to London via Wellingborough and another to Northampton and a hinterland including the market village of Rothwell and a whole clutch of populous open villages resulting from earlier enclosures, the town was almost perfect as a textile centre. The 212 only factor applying the brakes to the town itself was its manorial status and the copyhold tenure of most of its premises. Beyond the town, the district stretched up into the forest settlements around Corby and out along the Uplands, embracing both sides of the Watling Street. The organisation of the industry, originally perhaps just controlled by the clothier father and son, John and William Jordan, had become concentrated, by the early eighteenth century in an elite body of sergemakers. Later generations of these made up the Committee of Manufacturers that worked to secure a Worsted Act for the county. These men were concerned with manufacturing but the raw material supply was dominated by Northampton. The woolmen, who had been numerous in the Uplands at the end of the seventeenth century, gradually gave way to the woolstaplers of Northampton and a few rural counterparts. The centre of combing operations moved, quite early in the period, from Peterborough to Long Buckby, where a body of relatively small scale entrepreneurs utilised the available labour of poor landless labourers at a very low capital outlay on combs and combpots etc. supplying the rural industry beyond Kettering. The relationship between the country weavers and Kettering may not have been strong. Since Coventry was renowned for its tammy manufacture and tammy was not mentioned among the serges and shalloons of early Kettering products, there is a possibility that tammy making may have originated among the Upland villages bordering the Northampton-Coventry road (where the unfortunate tammy-maker was beset by footpads on his way home from Coventry market). As the century progressed the Master woolcombers became a kind of rural elite to compare with the Kettering sergemakers. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Kettering production was estimated at half that of Halifax. But where Halifax, and the rest of the West Riding, had an energetic band of entrepreneurs, either acquiring specialist sales skills in the Piece Halls at home or travelling abroad to maintain or even create new export markets, or trying out variations on the new machinery being used increasingly in cotton on the other side of the Pennines, Kettering had graziers. The Jordans retired early from textile manufacture to a more genteel lifestyle as country graziers. In the second half of the century the last fulling miller for whom there is evidence did the same. Other manufacturers diversified, either out of wool into silk, or out of textiles altogether into 213 any trade that appeared to offer better opportunities. Country craftsmen went into farming or shopkeeping as the industry faltered. No-one it seems, had much of a stake in keeping things going, let alone innovating and making new markets. The Wilson family seemed to see the way the wind was blowing, moving by the end of the century away from the manufacture of fabrics, into the sorting of fleeces, despatching a range of sortings to the West Country and Leicester as well as Yorkshire. Thus the industry ended, much as it began, by supplying raw materials to the nation’s leading textile producers. While it lasted there were those that made a reasonable living from it, though there were always those for whom it was merely an alternative option to poor relief. It allowed unprecedented numbers of women a degree of independence, giving them a money income in their own right, be it just the meagre wages from spinning or the opportunity to continue the business of a deceased male relative. For both sexes, it offered an expansion of employment opportunities and a chance to participate, at one level or another, in the new consumer society. Among the county’s landed families, the rise of the grazier, feeding the multitudes of London, led to the embellishment of farmhouses and maintained the attractions of country life. As the industry declined, among the poor weavers and combers there was little but the Poor rate to fall back on. In the early decades of the nineteenth century however, the urban shoemaking concerns of Northampton and Wellingborough, finding themselves like the New Drapery producers of the seventeenth century with more demand than they could satisfy, looked for a supply of labour, desperate, and therefore cheap, but with the habits of mind accustomed to outwork and the disciplines of industrial production. And thus the poor weavers of Rothwell and Desborough, and the combers of Long Buckby became the clickers and closers of these emerging shoe towns, whilst in the villages that turned to intensive agricultural production for the London market, the men were employed as labourers, as long as it suited the farmers, and their wives and daughters made lace or went into domestic service. And in the village of Hollowell, in 1803, the stock in trade and household furniture of ‘Mr Edward Butlin, moreen manufacturer, draper &c’ was put up for auction 214 Consisting of woollen cloths, velveteens, cords and thicksets, fancy waistcoat pieces, flaxen and Irish cloth, flannels, dimities and calicoes, shawls, silk and muslin handkerchiefs, cotton and worsted hose, with a variety of other articles; oak counter 14 feet by two feet six inches, fitted up with drawers; nests of drawers and shelves; upright wool-skips and combs &c. The household furniture comprises mahogany four-post bedsteads with printed cotton furniture…304 When a moreen manufacturer chooses to hang his bed with printed cotton, then it really is time to put up the shutters and move on. This study has uncovered an almost forgotten episode in the history of early modern textile manufacturing. It has drawn occupational data from a number of sources to investigate this barely-documented industry using a multiple source record linkage approach. The entries included in Appendix 1 constitute a database containing a significant proportion of the workers involved in textile production in Northamptonshire for more than a century. We know their names. Having formed the basis for this present thesis they are now available for further work. For the first time, this textile district has been mapped and factors which influenced its location have been investigated. The range of working practices and industrial organisation has been explored to reveal a mix of artisans, entrepreneurs and outworkers throughout the textile district and beyond. The progress of the industry has been traced and the impact of early industrialisationt has been assessed, both in concrete terms of living standards and consumption choices and also new opportunities for waged employment. There has also been a glimpse of the possibilities of progress in the study of the kinship economy via the microhistorical approach. The ‘rootedness’ exercise has shown the scope for future work on migration for economic motives from close to open parishes which might be applied in other industrial contexts for this period. What has emerged quite strongly has been the diversity of responses to changing economic and social circumstances as individuals have made decisions about the allocation of their time, capital and expertise – following discernible trends, it is true, but recalling Kauffman’s ‘myopic agents’, generally taking a short-term view and a 304 Northampton Mercury, 08.10.1803. 215 reactive, rather than a proactive approach to the changing climate of trade, ready to jump off the textile bandwagon if brushmaking or shopkeeping seemed to offer a better return. This current study has laid a foundation for much future work in a variety of directions. While the probate inventories transcribed in Appendix 1 have been mined principally for evidence of working practices and products for the purposes of this foundation-laying, there is obviously huge potential for their further use in the study of material culture generally. More specifically in furthering the Shammas-Weatherill debate on the penetration of consumption goods in the different classes of society they form a useful collection against which to contrast patterns of possession among the agricultural and landed classes, or their widows. Similarly, the files of the Northampton Mercury await further searches to trace, through sale particulars and ‘runaway’ advertisements (‘had on when he went away…’) the changing use of fabrics in dress and furnishing over the eighteenth century. The experiment in multiple source nominal record linkage has demonstrated how much is lost when occupational data only is gathered for a study in industrialisation. A detailed study of the town of Kettering, going well beyond the occupational data used here, could explore its business community, looking at the progress of established town families and the fortunes of incomers who may have brought expertise or capital into the town and the relationship between the two. There is a lot more to the Northamptonshire textile industry than Kettering. And, but for a couple of odd contemporary references to Kettering there would be no national awareness of this industry at all. How many other small county industries rose and fell in similar circumstances and even greater obscurity? Only the evidence of the Militia Lists saves Northamptonshire from this fate. Did Coventry occupy a similar position in Warwickshire to Kettering’s in Northamptonshire? Are there Warwickshire textile villages awaiting discovery and comparison with their neighbours, the weavers and knitters over their county boundaries? There is scope for many more village microhistories, both for the purposes of comparison and also linkage. Tracing the economic and social networks over areas such as the Uplands will throw considerably more light on the part which the kinship economy played in industrialisation. 216 There are no simple answers to the question of why a particular industry arose and flourished (or not) in a particular place; no mathematical formulae for industrialising settlements; no neat division of artisan and outwork districts. There are just people: getting a living, building an enterprise, meeting with good or bad luck (or their just deserts), taking the long view, or, more probably, the short view, getting ahead of their neighbours or trying to catch up, and forming a part, without being aware of it, of a particular impetus and pattern of activity, within a framework of circumstances, which is still playing out in the economy of the twenty first century. 217 Appendix 1 Selected transcriptions of probate inventories.

Henry Billing Robert ffalkner 297 Appendix 2 Glossary Batragons: this may be equated with ‘barracans, a coarse-grained camblet. ( See below, under cantiloons. The spelling given here is the one used in the Northampton Mercury advertisement in 1755. Callimancoe: Possibly first made as a reaction to the earliest imported Indian calicoes, this was a single warp fabric, which might have a number of colours in the warp threads, woven with, or without, stripes and flowers. Kerridge describes ‘a bright and lustrous cloth, a swatch of which looked like nothing so much as a chest full of medal ribbons’.305 Two advertisements in the Northampton Mercury dated 1766 and 1771 offer ready-made callimancoe shoes for women. Cantiloon: the spelling is Munn’s, but it may be identified with the catalowne described in the 1618 Allegations of the Worsted Weavers of Norwich.306 The Norwich weavers claimed that the New Draperies were merely variations of the old Norfolk worsteds, and as such should be subject to the same regulation as those older worsteds. ‘Catalowne’ is here identified as a single camblet: A worsted is wrought with four treadles; to make thereof a bustian, is to weave with three of the same treadles; to make the same a double chamblet, is to use the two right foot treadles; to make it single, is to use the two left foot treadles; to make this a philosello, a peropus, a paragon or a buffyn, is but to alter the breadth, and to make them double, treble or single in the striken; and to make the buffyn a catalowne, is to twist a thread of one colour with a thread of another, and strike it with another colour… From this description we may infer that a cantiloon was woven on a bi-coloured warp with a third colour for the weft, therefore using dyed yarn. The same fabric is probably given a further variation in spelling by the Northampton Mercury in 1778, where ‘antiloons’ are listed along with broad and narrow tammies among the products of the bankrupt Thomas Sabin of Crick. 305 306 Kerridge, Textile manufactures.p51. Caesar papers, British Museum Additional MSS., 12504, Art.64, quoted in James p.143. 298 Cheney: this was probably another variation on camblet, woven with a relatively thick weft, which gave a watered appearance after pressing. This fabric appears in the same advertisement as batragons. (See above.) Everlasting: often shortened to ‘lasting’, this was a strong double- or treble-warp fabric, tightly woven and often figured. It was much used for items such as shoe tops and appears with callimancoe in the shoe advertisements already mentioned. Harrateen: ‘a coarse stuff, woven plain; something between a tammy and a moreen’ James reports the description by ‘an ancient manufacturer’307 Kerridge suggests they may have been embossed with a pattern like damask by means of hot pressing or the use of an engraved, heated roller. However, a manufacturer, writing to the Northampton Mercury, giving costings for manufacture in his argument against the Lincolnshire Petition, in 1781 mentions: …harrateens, which cost the least in manufacturing (for the quantity of wool they consume) of any kind of goods…308 So perhaps the damask finish, which would have been expensive, was optional. If they were cheap because they consumed so little wool, that would suggest they were made from a fine-spun yarn, loosely woven – hardly ‘a coarse stuff’ but the quality of the fabric may have varied over time or in different production centres. Moreen: like harrateen, this was a form of camblet, given a watered finish by hotpressing. Montgomery says: Worsted camlets became harrateens and moreens, grograms and grogrinetts, chinas or cheneys, when given different finishes.309 The probate inventory of John Newton in 1774 included both dyed and undyed ‘morines’, suggesting they were commonly woven white. Plush (worsted): this was a kind of wool velvet, or velour. There were five plush weavers listed in 1777 at Chacombe, in the extreme Southwest of the county. 307 James, History of worsted. Appendix p7 (p229). Northampton Mercury, 31.12.1781, p.172, col.1. 309 F M Montgomery, Textiles in America, 1650 - 1780. (New York and London, 1984). p.118. 308 299 Shag: this was a heavier version of plush. In Northamptonshire production was concentrated at Middleton Cheney, contiguous with Chacombe, where six weavers were listed in 1777. Serge: Listed among the all-worsted fabrics by Munn, he presumably regards this one as the industry standard. He includes ‘cloth serge’ and ‘German serge’ among the mixtures of long and short wool. It was woven on a four-treadle loom and came in a number of styles based on origins – serge de Chalon, later better known as shalloon, was woven on a single warp, serge de Nismes (later known as denim) had a double warp, making it stouter and very hardwearing. This was probably the first of the New Draperies to be introduced into the county, resulting in the rise of an elite known, not as clothiers, but as sergemakers. Shalloon: Montgomery describes this as a cheap, twilled worsted. Hot pressed for a smooth finish it was used as a women’s dress fabric and as a lining – though a writer quoted by Montgomery complained: Silk waistcoats and breeches are soon destroyed by shalloon linings from friction, silk linings, or fine cloth facings substituted, would turn out to much better effect.310 Tammy: Kerridge suggests that these were made of tammy, or estamet yarn, which ‘had been shrunk and smoothed by scouring.’ Its chief characteristic appears to have been a relatively open weave. It was made in several different qualities, ‘fine tammies’ being used by the anonymous Manufacturer of Northampton in the Northampton Mercury item quoted above, as a contrast to the cheaply made harrateens. They were glazed by hot-pressing and used for making ladies’ dresses, whilst a coarser, unglazed sort was used as a more homely straining or boulting cloth, (as in John Davison’s ‘straynering’, above.) 310 Ibid.p347. 300 Appendix 3 Industrial location factors The following tables show the combined analyses undertaken in Chapter 6 for Guilsborough Hundred applied to each of the Textile Hundreds for comparison.
