 They are frequently found in ploughed fields, whither they have been carried in 

 manure They are generally without stems, but when perfect are about eight 

 inches long, thicker in the stem than modern pipes, with small heads almost 

 egg-shaped In some districts they are found with the maker's initials at the 

 bottom of the head. By some they are believed to have been made long prior 

 to the reign of Elizabeth, during whose reign tobacco was first introduced ; there 

 are certainly reasons for supposing that the custom of smoking is more ancient 

 than the introduction of tobacco. When half of the great tower of Kirkstall
