  STOCK & GOODS IN A “LESS THAN MODEST HOUSEHOLD”

  “My Goods and Money at August 1658 (Will Blundell)

  — 9 horses:

  How would a “less than modest” household have 25 bed frames, with bedding for 22?

  Gotta be a Brit thing. I’ll never understand ‘em.

  Perhaps 3 bedframes are for chance visitors or travellers who are expected to bring their own bedrolls with them? Or, maybe, you just fill an extra few sacks with straw when unexpected bods arrive.

  16 feather beds used, worth 3 quid a piece. In those days one had many extended family to run a place with that number of horses and livestock. Have need of many “off” spring and milking maids and lads to plough the fields and feed the other members of family who may or may not be pulling their weight. The 6 chaff beds were for the ladds rubbing down the 9 horses and keeping the sheep from mowing the flowers.
