• A fronter was the hanging cloth, of whatever stuff, in front of the altar : frequently decorated 

 with the Arms of the donor in rich embroidery. 



+ Venice gold was in great request so early as the coronation of Richard III. The fringe was sold 

 at xxxs the pound in 1502 (F. Madden). 



t Bodkyn, more correctly baudkin, was " a rich and precious species of stuff, introduced into 

 England in the thirteenth century. It is said to have been composed of silk interwoven with threads 

 of gold in a most sumptuous manner. According to Douce it means tissue of gold " (Halliwell's 

 Dictionary). 



? Dornyx, sometimes written "darnex," or " dornex," "A sort of damask used for carpets, 

 curtains, &c , originally manufactured at Tournay, called in Memish dornick. Spelt dorness in 

 Cunningham's Rerels Account, p 215. It was composed of different kinds of material, sometimes of 

 worst d. silk, wool, or thread. Perhaps damsk, "a thick hedge-glove," is connected with this 

 term. In Northumberland darnick is linsey-wolsey " (Halliwell).
