Two Documents Concerning the New Draperies

T J HE great revolution in England's clothing industries in the later sixteenth century is poorly documented. The New Draperies presented a fresh administrative problem and the central government experienced immense difficulties in dealing with the settlement and the collection both of aulnage rates and of export duties on them, largely because they were a novelty. As a result the economic historian has little material from which he can deduce satisfactorily either the nature of the new types of cloth1 or the extent of their production. The first document calendared below contains information as to the quality and size of the most important varieties manufactured in the country generally; the second gives the annual figures of alien-made cloths sealed at Norwich during the twenty-two years following their introduction
