SOUTH LITTLETON CHURCH WARDEN ACCOUNTS 1685
To Munford for killing 8 urchins £0.2s.0d
I think this is what is says – Urchins I think are Hedgehogs. (In fact the word urchin referred to hedgehogs long before it was applied to anything else – according to OED! Ed)
(£0.2s.0d is about £10 in today’s money)
