The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 2 (of 6)

Note 281.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 6)

Reading edition

[From Fenn, iii. 324.] The beginning of this letter refers to building operations, which I presume to be the same as those to which the next letter relates, and therefore of the same date. They were probably at Caister Castle.

281.2 Large beams.

281.3 Draught chamber. A withdrawing-room.—Halliwell.

281.4 Cowntewery must mean his counter, desk, or board to sit and write, etc., at. —F.

282.1 Probably a member of the Berney family (see Sir John Fastolf’s letter of the 28th January 1451). Philip Berney, as will be seen by No. 217, was disseised of the manor of Rockland Tofts during the year 1452.
