Full Description

{1} A common bakehouse is recorded in 1289 worth 26/8d. In 1434-5 the bakehouse was in hand because it was in need of repair. In 1468-9 it was held by the community of Fotheringhay for 26/8d. and in 1508 it was held at farm for £1/8/9d. In 1588 the common bakehouse was worth 24/-. Its location is given in 1548 when it lay in front of a cottage in the main street, the tenants paying for it 12d per yardland. The common bakehouse was maintained as a manorial privilege for profit and hence in 1448-9 a tenant was recorded as holding a bakehouse to the detriment of the common bakehouse.
