Dear All,
I will be in UK/Cornwall from May 9, hoping to get up to Yorkshire @ May
24...
for at least a week.. at the very least I am going to enjoy walking around
various places taking photos. At best I hope to get to the Borthwick and
and also the Leeds research facilities. You never know, I might even get to
the soggy part of Lincs where the Monastery was...
Now I am armed with a laptop, hopefully I will be able to record vast
amounts of information.
Would welcome the opportunity to meet some Cat*leys...
Kay

Hi Tim,
Still in there kicking, I am. Honestly, I am feeling a little
better.
What I wanted to tell you......I met a man from Scotland and when he
heard my name said that it was Scottish and it meant Cow Pasture ( Cattle lea
or ley) Did you ever hear of such a thing???
Hope your doing good and I still regard you as my "young"
angle!
Take care, Marge
Hi Liz,
I have just reread your message re Zaccheus and was struck by the fact that
he gave is occupation as joiner. A joiner is a very skilled trade
generally making fine furniture (my dad was a joiner and cabinet-maker and
did all sorts of ornate work. This seemed somewhat at odds with the
occupation of cane worker...BUT checking it out on the internet gave me a
bit from Encylopaedia Brittanica so I fished out my 1998 CD (it works much
better in this bigger faster machine! what a plus) and came up with this
information :
CANE FURNITURE : furniture in which a mesh of split canes is stretched over
parts of the framework, principally on the backs and seats of chairs. It
was made in India as early as the 2nd century AD and was also known in
China. Cane was imported into Europe by the East India Company, and cane
furniture became fashionable in England and the Netherlands toward the end
of the 17th century. It is particularly associated with the high-backed
chairs with ornately carved front stretchers made at the time of the
English Restoration. In France canework was popular for less opulent
furniture during the Régence and was still used in the Louis XV period. It
gradually returned to favour in early 19th-century England with the use of
furniture in the Chinese taste.
Thomas Sheraton suggested in The Cabinet Dictionary (1803) that cane should
be used for bed ends and "any thing where lightness, elasticity, cleanness,
and durability, ought to be combined." Cane furniture based on English
styles was introduced into Germany, Spain, and the American colonies; the
council chamber in Williamsburg, Va., for example, was furnished with cane
chairs early in the 18th century. Canework has never entirely gone out of
fashion and is still used.

That makes much more sense. Joiners need to be very good at maths and so
can probably also read and write, which further adds to the sense of it all.
