The weight of each block of tin being Somerset clothmen and they all occurred early in 
approximately 3  hundredweight probably the decade covered by the ‘Boke’. 
accounted for them being carried ‘freight free’ as 
they would have been useful as stabilizing ballast. 
The numbers of white broadcloths exported by 
Thomas Kytson to the Flanders marts are shown in 
Tables 6 and 7. The exports are collated in 
‘Exchequer years’. 
When the numbers of cloths exported by 
Kytson are compared with his purchases there are 
some differences in the annual totals, but those may 
be explained by the fact that cloths were being sent 
by the clothmen to London after the last sailing to 
the Sinxten or Bamis marts and before the end of 
each Exchequer Year. It also appears that not all of 
the cloths that Kytson purchased were exported.
