* Those cloths are recorded both as ‘whites’ and ‘Castelcomes’. 
# 80 of these 120 whites were purchased by Kytson on 11 October 1539 (at the beginning of the 1539 to 1540 Exchequer 
year). 
Vaugham of Westbury and John Norinton of 
Devizes each delivered more than 200 cloths. 
Towards the end of Kytson’s life, the Alexander 
Langfords (senior) and (junior), of Trowbridge, 
William Allen of Calne and the widow of Richard 
Bathe became major Wiltshire suppliers to Kytson. 
As in Kytson’s dealings with his Somerset contacts 
it is not to be supposed that other clothmen from 
whom Kytson purchased cloths were necessarily 
small producers. Clothmen such as Thomas 
Ashlocke of Heytesbury, Robert Bathe and the 
William Adlams of Westbury, Robert Maye of 
Melksham, John Smethe of Devizes and William 
Blackden who supplied Kytson with cloths in packs 
of 10 must have been major producers who sold 
their cloths at other times to other merchants. 
Kytson bought ‘whites’ from about 70 Wiltshire 
clothmen over the ten-year period covered by his 
‘Boke of Remembraunce’. He was only one of many 
merchants who purchased ‘whites’ for export to 
meet the insatiable demand of the Continent for 
English cloths.
