CLOTHiMAKING 133 CHAPTER VIII CLOTHMAKING Important as was the wool trade, for centuries the main source of England's wealth, its history, per- taining to the realms of commerce rather than of industry, does not concern us here, and we may ignore the raw material to deal with the manu- factured article. To treat at all adequately the vast and complicated history of clothmaking would require a volume as large as this book, even if the line be drawn at the introduction of the New Draperies by Pro...testant refugees in the time of Elizabeth, and all that is possible here is briefly to outline that history. The weaving of cloth is of prehistoric antiquity, implements employed therein having been found in numbers in the ancient lake-village of Glaston- bury, and on other earlier sites, but documentary evidence may be said to begin with the twelfth century. By the middle of that century the in- dustry had so far developed in certain centres that the weavers of London, Winchester, Lincoln, Oxford, Huntingdon, and Nottingham, cind the fullers of Winchester, had formed themselves into gilds.
