A late 1719 Sussex inventory

[horselydown86]

Case closed.

Not quite - I just glanced at line 35 (to see the quilt) and noticed a couple of errors in the transcript:

...Curtains vallance and bace one quilt two blanketts...

bace should mean base.

Thanks for correcting that mistake, Horseley.  Eagle eyes as ever.

I should imagine that discovery prompted you to re-read the whole transcription again; so would it now be safe to say "case closed"?

I should say that I don't necessarily ever have time to proofread a 53 line inventory just for love of doing so.

However I have checked through now and found the following matters which I think haven't been covered.  Apologies to the other poster if I'm wrong.  (I should have picked up 45 & 46 at first looking but I was heading to bed at the time.)

15:  ...Ligg'd Keelers...
18:  ...Six Crooks... (not Casks)
43:  Actually spelt pillow barrs (should be same meaning as beres)
45:  ...Huccaback Table Cloth and twelve Napkins (Cloth is plural in the transcript.)
46:  ...& twelve Napkins

Many thanks, Horseley for that final push - the exception has been noted and is very much appreciated.

I see there are some 20 definitions of “crook” in the English Dialect Dictionary but the third one seems the most relevant with: "an iron hook and chain suspended in a kitchen chimney, on which the cooking vessels are hung over the fire". We live and learn! By the way, I presume that Ligg'd can be read as Legged.

Yes.
