INTRODUCTION

The Bristol Inventory Project

This is the second volume in the Bristol Record Society series devoted to the publication of the probate inventories from Bristol transcribed by Mr and Mrs George. The first volume (Bristol Record Society Volume 54) provided transcriptions of 108 inventories dating from 1542 to 1650. This volume contains transcriptions of a further Ill inventories, from 1657 to 1689.

A full and general introduction to the project was given in the first volume. The remaining part of this introduction is devoted to illustrating the usefulness of the probate inventories to archaeologists and architectural historians studying the history of houses.

Probate inventories for the history of houses

It was noted in the earlier volume that the inventories transcribed by Mr and Mrs George form about 9% of the extant inventories from the City of Bristol. This statement referred to the extant inventories preserved within the Bristol Record Office. At least a further 493 inventories, of the wealthiest citizens and some others, are to be found in the National Archives. Studies drawing on the probate inventories preserved in the Bristol Record Office have not always been aware of this group of further inventories in the National Archives. ' This introduction will focus upon the inventories published in this volume, but will draw both upon the wider context of the surviving probate inventories for Bristol so far examined in the city and national collections and upon archaeological and architectural survey linked to documentary research. The author's studies of topography and property holdings in early modem

Bristol have been undertaken so as to enable the occupancy and ownership of a wide range of houses to be specifically identified, enabling in turn the correlation of probate inventories with addresses and sometimes recorded houses.;;

Within the selection made by Mr and Mrs George, and also within the larger corpus of material in the Bristol Record Office and the National Archives, approximately 50% of the inventories contain the possessions of the deceased grouped under room names. The sequences of room names contained within these inventories provide clues to the form of the house, occasionally to the forms of two houses, and indicate also the route followed through the house by the appraisers appointed to prepare the inventory.

In many instances the sequences of rooms provide clues as to the form of the house. In others, the form of the house remains enigmatic. In some the sequence of rooms can be argued to indicate that rooms have been omitted, possibly because rooms have been emptied of possessions, but also possibly because a house was in multiple occupation. The deceased's belongings would then be only in a part of the house.

Hallhouses and Shophouses

In the late medieval or early modem town and city townspeople saw a distinction between the ' hallhouse' and the 'shophouse'. ;;; ln 1473 a clerk of Canynges' chantry in St Mary Redcliff compiled an unusually detailed rental of the chantry's endowments. Individual properties were described in detail and within these descriptions a distinction was made between ' hallhouses' and 'shophouses'.iv This it can be argued differentiated houses characterised by a hall of impressive appearance, which in the fifteenth century was open to the roof, and houses which consisted simply of one or more rooms over a shop. ln fifteenth-century London and Bristol the open hall was to be found principally in larger houses. These houses

were seen as distinct from houses which were essentially over the shop. In the shophouse the principal upper room over the shop, generally on the first floor, was frequently referred to as the hall , a term sti ll in use in this context in early seventeenth century London but less so in Bristol. In such houses the hall can only have served as the principal living area and social centre of the house, above the shop and below the bed-chambers. There were no other rooms for living accommodation, for sitting, eating and receiving guests. Such a house we can argue would have been termed a shophouse, a house over the shop and distinct from one provided with an open hall which might be termed a hallhouse.

In the rental of 14 73 for the Canynges' chantry properties in Bristol the rents for shophouses were without exception less than those charged for hallhouses. The terms shophouse and hallhouse were also a shorthand term used to distinguish houses which once identified as such would immediately have a context in financial terms to anyone reading the rental. ln turn the financial distinction would have reflected polarisations of wealth in the medieval town, between those who could afford only a house of one or more rooms built over the shop, and sometimes with no heating\ and, at the opposite extreme, those who had the means to live in a larger house with a hall open to the roof and taking up a substantial part of the footprint of the house. In turn, inventories of possessions enable the identification of the hall house and the shophouse as locales for the enforcement and mediation of social distinctions.

Probate inventories provide clues to the modernisation of hallbouses, and the elimination of the open hal l. The inventory of John Petersen of St Nicholas parish (15) could illustrate this development. On the upper floor a ' mjdell chamber' was possibly a room inserted into part of a formerly open hall , between a chamber overlooking the street and one overlooking a courtyard to the rear. The hall itself was now effectively a symbolic space. Fifteen chairs, four stools and one table board identifed this as a dining space, but reading further the contents of the inventory it becomes apparent that the real dining room was now the parlour, much better furnished for this purpose and replete with I 7 drinking glasses. Petersen 's hall is resonant of John Gaywode's some two hundred years earlier, 'in use at the feast of Christmas'. vi

Other former open halls were converted to industrial use. In 1668 the house of John Seager, a tanner in St Peter's parish (23), was a graphic illustration of this process. One of the principal working rooms was ' the tan-house called the Hall '.

Thomas Bishop' s house in 1668 in the parish of Temple was probably a shophouse of three storeys (2 I). On the first floor was his lodging chamber and a back

chamber. On the floor above was a single cockloft. On the ground floor were the kitchen and a shop. An absence of any hearth furniture in the shop indicates that the stack at the front of the house rose only from the first floor, where Bishop's lodging chamber was provided with andirons with ' brasse nobs '. The house of John Chock bodice maker in 1668 (22) was probably of a similar plan, but with no evidence for any room being heated. Possibly this was a medieval shophouse, still without any added hearths.

By chance the transcribed inventories include three shophouses in Castle Street, all built as part of the development of Castle Street from c.l655 onwards. The shop house of Flower Hunt at no .58 Castle Street, described in his inventory of 1672 (33), must have been similar to the adjacent house no.59, shown on a later 19th century photograph to be of three storeys and an attic, and to no.56 shown in an 18th_ century plan as a house of two rooms in depth. Detailed examination of the succession of rooms in the probate inventory shows that the rear rooms on the second and attic floors were omitted. These were possibly leased to a sub-tenant, could have been the rooms held by Hunt 's adult children.

One year later in 1673 was compiled the inventory of Thomas Bason at no.61 Castle Street (39), just two doors away from Hunt. Bason too seems to have sub-let rooms, here the entire second floor. The inventory of George Phipps at no.69 Castle Street for 1679 ( 68) provides a similar picture. The ground floor was occupied by a shop and kitchen. The first floor was possibly sublet. Above were two rooms each on the second and attic floors.

It would be of interest to know where in the city John Kimbar's shophouse in 1681 (78) was situated. The inventory gives an unusually clear delineation of the plan of a four-storey house. The ground and basement were coffee shop and kitchens. On the two floors above a central stairs of two flights between each floor separated front and back rooms. At attic level the central space was also a 'middle cockloft' room.

Richard West's house in 1677 (56) was a much smaller shophouse, of two storeys with two rooms on each floor. Only the first-floor fore street chamber was heated.

Shophouse and hall house could on occasion be combined. In Broad Street the house of John Bevill an arms painter in 1678 (57) included a hall which served evidently as a music room, also a shophouse on the street frontage with a kitchen and shop on the ground floor, and two chambers on each of the two floors above.

The residential house

A third house type identifiable in early modem Bristol was what might be termed the residential house. This was a house entirely residential in form, without a large hall , typically of two rooms on each floor, sometimes smaller or larger. Probate inventories enable us to see that the range from small to large, at least when such houses were newly built, might too reflect social distinctions and polarizations of wealth.

A small but relatively high status house of this type was that of James Read, a clerk in the cathedral , in 1675 (49), a four storey house of one room on each floor, a kitchen on the ground floor, a study above, a chamber over and a cockloft on the top floor. Much more humble was the three-storey house of Richard Avery at Lawford's Gate in 1679 (62). A very's house consisted of three rooms, one above the other, a kitchen on the ground floor, a middle chamber above, and above that a cock loft. A larger house was that of the widow Brayne in 1689 (I 08). On the ground floor were the dining room and kitchen. On the two floors above were two chambers on each floor.

The lodge, garden house or villa

A fourth house type apparent in Bristol from the late medieval period was the lodge or garden house.v" This was a second residence, the occasional residence of a prosperous or wealthy townsperson. In probate inventories the lodge or garden house is often identifiable as a secondary residence, but like the main residence holding a range of the deceased 's possessions. Sometimes the status of a second residence is less clear, as in the inventory of William Dickenson a button maker in 1683 (82). The location of Dickenson 's main residence is not yet known; his possessions included also ' a littell ould house in froglane' , within a locali ty favoured for second residences. A second possible example is in the inventory of Edward Langley (25). His possessions in 1669 included those in his town house, very much a suburban vi lla, and ' In his house in the Country'.

Detached kitchens

Architectural evidence shows that shophouses and residential houses were frequently provided with detached kitchens. This could sometimes be the principal kitchen, sometimes a secondary kitchen, often serving as a laundry. In 1667 John Lane's 'back kitchin' (19) was possibly a laundry, its only contents being a furnace. In 1673 Thomas Bason's back kitchen (39) at no.6 1 Castle Street seems to have been used as a store for metal ware and chairs. A ' dog wheel and spindell ' might indicate that the room was still used for cooking,

The detached kitchen was frequently of two storeys, with a room over the kitchen. In the inventory of Benjamin James in 1680 (74) ' the chamber over the Back Kittchin ' seems to have served as a linen store, with just 'one old bedstead' for sleeping purposes.

The inventories overall

This selection of inventories should serve many useful purposes, but the reader may also now wish to look at the fuller collections held both in the Bristol Record Office (now on microfilm) and the National Archives. By good coincidence this author found much of interest in the selections made by Mr and Mrs Georgeviii, but also found much more of interest beyond. The reader may also wish to note that a selection of merchants' inventories was included in an earlier volume on merchants and merchandise in 17th-century Bristol.ix
