Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The mould found in Netherwasdale in 1865, which was used for counterfeiting Henry VII coins no later than 1500, is the earliest evidence for the exploitation of Borrowdale graphite. The coins to be copied were hammered into the graphite and the resulting impression was deepened by engraving; the resulting casts would have been difficult to pass off. The earlier phases of working of the two graphite mines on Seatoller Fell are described with the help of documents 1555-97. Mention is made of graphite from the medieval Passau (Bavaria) mines, used in ceramics etc. Marketing arrangements for the Seatoller mines are also described. | ||||||
