Household inventory: pewter, linens and candlesticks
A list of new and old pewter tableware alongside household linens
The page is a two-column household inventory written in pen. The left column lists pewter tableware divided into 'new pewter' and 'old pewter' - small bowls, bowls, platters of various sizes, square dishes, a large bowl, plates and candlesticks - while the right column tallies linens: pairs of sheets, small sheets, tablecloths, napkins, shirts, cloths, drying-towels and a basin. Each entry is preceded by its quantity.
