Larding Money

Blount, in his Law Dictionary, 1670, states that "in the Manour of Bradford, in County Wilts, the Tenants pay to the Marquis of Winchester, their Landlord, a small yearly Rent by this Name."

Wharton, in the Law Lexicon , 1864, adds that it is "is said to be for liberty to feed their hogs with the masts of the lord's woods, the fat of a hog being called lard."
