+ Maundy-Thursday. — The Thursday in Holy Week. Maunds were small 

 baskets containing doles which were distributed, and in medieval times 

 " Maunds" were held in all the great houses. In the " Household Book " of 

 the Earl of Northumberland, which begins in 1512, there are entries of " al 

 maner of things yerly yevin by my lorde of his Maundy and my laidis and his 

 lordschippis childeren." "Shrowffe" probably intended for " S/iere," an oU\ 

 epithet for the day " Shere Thursday."
