| [Burials in Woollen: Two acts of Parliament were passed in the late 17th century to protect and promote the English wool trade. The first in 1660, prohibited the use of any material other than wool for burial. The second in 1678 imposed a fine of £5 for defaulters, and introduced an affidavit which had to be signed, stating that the deceased was buried in "sheeps wooll only". These acts were not repealed until 1814. Those who could afford to, sometimes made provision in their wills for the £5 to be paid, so that they would not suffer the ignominy of being buried in wool.] |
