[Picture: The signs of the principal inhabitants]
It is conjectured by some antiquarians that the above marks are symbols
of the trade or occupation of those who assented to the foregoing recited
orders; their opinion being formed from the circumstance of Stoneham, the
constable, being a ship carpenter, and attaching a hatchet to his name;
and for the same reason the supposition is that Oston, from his sign was
a butcher, Good, a wheelwright, and Mellershe a millwright. The rest
seem wholly unintelligible.
In the year 1580, Lord _Buckhurst_ and Mr. _Shelley_ made a new order
concerning the penalty falling on the owner or lessor of any house let
without the written consent of the constable and churchwardens, which was
henceforth to be levied from the under-tenant, as well as from the said
owner or lessee.
