Bishops Stortford
Trade and Industry
A halfpenny token issued by Edward Gardner, woolcomber of "Bishopstaford" in 1668 (sold recently on ebay) |
If your ancestor was in the catering industry there may be surviving evidence of the goods they made or sold. Patum Peperium (The Gentleman's Relish) was usually sold in decorated pots. This example (sold recently on eBay) was made for Elsenham Quality Foods Ltd, of Bishops Stortford. Such attractive items can be highly collectable. |
