Mr. Arthur Oswald informs me that several of these names occur in livery
lists of the Prior contained in Bodleian Tanner MS. 165 —
List of 1398 'Armigeri'
Henry Yvele; Stephen Lote (Yevele's successor as King's Mason); John
Pyrye (surveyor and clerk of the cathedral works); Thomas Hoo; John
Wulward (apparently first of the working masons and carpenters,
respectively, or resident masters or wardens of the works); Simon
Carpenter; John Bulstrode; John Kent.
List of 1412 'Armigeri'
Stephen Lote; John Kent; Simon Salisbury; William Maidstone.
1 The workmen had unpaid holidays of a week each at
Christmas, Easter, and Whitsun, and on certain other feasts.
2 Perhaps "unloading 100 cartloads of sand."
3 For the employer's responsibility for sharpening the masons' tools,
see D. Knoop and G. P. Jones: The Mediaeval Mason, 1933, p. 62
