Abstract
The origins of pewtering in medieval England?
Peter Hooper
132 - 135
The re-introduction of pewtering during the medieval period may be attributable to the influence of the Cistercian Order, founded in France circa thirty years after the Conquest. Puritan doctrine forbad the use of silver and gold vessels and pewter was consequently used in profusion. As the Order became more established and branched out into the community on a commercial basis the craft spread. It is possible, should this hypothesis prove correct, that more extensive records of early pewtering exist in the Cistercian Order's archives.
A William I pewter penny
Peter Hooper
150
Brief note on a version of a Norman silver penny struck in pewter. The right facing profile indicates a date range between 1080--83. Pewter is not usually datable to so narrow a range and the early date may represent the influence of French craft techniques. The item is thought to be a mint test piece.
