In relation to comments I have made re: ‘weddo’ in other wills , here we have the ‘diocese of Norwytchwedde. This is the will of another person to be buried in the churchyard in Waldringfield and 12 pence to be given to the high altar. Bequeaths to her son William Waryne (?Warren) half her movable goods, the other half and the household goods to go to son John Waryne (?Warren). i think this question of moveable goods has come up in another of my wills but the word used was less obvious.( ) Her best gown goes to Margrett Angell and her readekyrttyll Anies Elmyes ( Elmy is a well known local name). A rossett (?russett) petticoat (petty coote) goes to to Cybile Moone whilst the whyte petty coote goes to Alyes Smyth. Lucky John inherits ‘any howsys and loudyess’ (howsys must surely mean ‘whatsits’ (my grandmother in law in Cumbria called me ‘howsis’ because she couldn’t remember my name) but what are the loudyess which stood or lay about in the fields of Swilland. anyway from the prophet thereof he is chatrged with ensuring that son william has fodd, drink, cliothing and a roof over his head and his own key. John is the main beneficiary and also the Executor. The witnesses are John Hartt and John Havell with others. What does ‘moo’ mean and what do we think is nexte scheype.
