This week I worked out that I have surveyed 60 houses in the last 10 years. Of those, 42 were listed buildings. 21 out of 42 were incorrectly dated in the listing, including this one: Wheelwrights at Kelham, Notts. Listed as 17C, survey revealed it was early 15C... 1/3 🧵

While the O'Doyles were most known for their history with Akron, O'Doyle III was banned from the city after punching the fire chief through a building. He managed the Hoboken Wheelwrights from 1982-1993 until he accidentally burned down the stadium. He never managed his son.

Also the wicker bier / sled. We wonder why hollow ways become so deeply rutted but a decade of trapsing a sled from a coppice to the cottage would quickly erode. Especially as wheelwrights are expensive and skilled

Which means not factories, exactly, but spaces in which the company-owned tools, materials, and spaces are housed for cooping, wheelwrights, blacksmithing, etc.

This very ornate Grant of Arms (1634) for the Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights was recently requested by a researcher doing a project on the livery companies of the City of London. A beautiful document with its original seal. 📜

Our Wheelwrights have been mocking up a quarter-size wheelbarrow ready to make a half-size for our younger/smaller visitors to try out.
With something this small, they have to be inventive about the actual wheel...

Around the 15th century, the English began covering their cart & wagon wheels with malleable iron.
These coverings were called "tires", either as a shortening of "attire" or a link to "tie", because they covered & held together the wood underneath.
Sometimes this was spelled "tyre".

Fun fact: the "wright" part is an old English (not Old English, I think?) term for a person who makes a thing. Hence "wheelwrights" make wheels and "playwrights" make plays. :)
