GIRL APPRENTICES
- Girl apprentices appear to have been enrolled'and released from an early date exactly as were male apprentices. One of the earliest, if not .the earliest, extant records, of the practice bears date 1275. It- runs as follows: “The same day came Roger Oriel, paternoster and acknowledged a release to Marion, daughter of Christina de Lymespye, his apprentice, of a term of seven'years, for which she-was bound to him for the sum of 14s, to be paid by instalments of 6d at Easter, and so from term to term, until; etc.” \ The Apprentice Rolls of the city of Bristol, ‘extant from 1532, record that Agnes Clarke, a fishmonger’s daughter, was bound to a mercer for twenty years !
