Thanks for the wife's name.

Thanks to all for your help. As ever, much solved but new questions - many of the words / phrases are new to me: does anyone know what these are:
Line 3 “Tobacco”  tongs
Line 8 Could this be an “f” to make it a “Chafing” dish. They are still called this today and used to keep food warm.
Line 9 Scute
Line 16 Cheespress and Bailes.  With the “and“ Baile sounds like it’s a part of the press, but which part?
Line 17 /18 Chern hoe milk Leads. Could the hoe be a “two”, so “one Chern two milk leads” and if so what is a milk lead?
Line 22 Tovet
Line 37 Would I be correct in assuming that a close stool is actually a chair loo?
Line 46 Shopcloth – does this simply mean cloth bought in a shop?
Line 50 Sheath

The OED says
shop cloth n.  †(a) a cloth laid upon the boards of a butcher's stall;  (b) cloth sold in a shop, frequently considered superior to homemade cloth;  (c) a cloth used by a mechanic or engineer to protect or clean equipment.

tobacco tongs  n. a light pair of tongs formerly used by smokers to pick up tobacco or a live coal for igniting it.

Thanks Jen,

Both make ultimate sense, especially the tongs for picking up an ember.

Thanks too for the advice on the use of the long s . I must admit I can't tell the difference, either on when to use the one or the other, or even how to tell them apart. I just thought it was common practice (to write an f) when the s was in the word, rather than at the beginning or end.

[JenB]

To our eyes it looks like an ‘f’ but the long s was usually written without a horizontal bar or with the bar only on the left side of the downstroke.
Take a look at the poem in this interesting article https://babelstone.co.uk/Blog/2006/06/rules-for-long-s.html

Line 37 Would I be correct in assuming that a close stool is actually a chair loo

OED says:
Close stool A piece of furniture enclosing a chamber pot, typically a type of chair or small chest having a lid concealing a seat with a hole used in the same way as a toilet.

If tovet is correct, the definition in the (very useful) English Dialect Dictionary is 'a measure of half a bushel'  https://archive.org/details/cu31924088038439/page/n217 (bottom right of r-h page).
The same definition given in the OED.

Line 17 /18 Chern hoe milk Leads. Could the hoe be a “two”, so “one Chern two milk leads” and if so what is a milk lead?

I think it might possibly be 'two'  which would make it read 'one chern two milk leads'
According to the Dialect Dictionary (freely available online  ) a milk lead was 'a shallow cistern lined with lead in which milk is set to cream' https://archive.org/details/cu31924088038413/page/n121
