One of the main features of the seventeenth century token series, apart from its size, is the diversity of issuers and the potential for even a singular token to open up a window on people, trades and places that have been lost in the intervening years.
A recent talk at the British Numismatic Society (Laura Burnett – April 2023) mentioned in passing the token issued at the Glasshouse at Calne in 1669 (Wilts W/D 35). This reminded me of some research I carried out over a decade ago into this token and seventeenth century glasshouses, which is revisited in this note.
