Monument record TQ 64 NW 12 - Small bloomeries or 'Fabrica', Tudely, Capel
Summary
A small bloomery forge was formerly located near the bloomery at Tudely (see TQ 64 SW 7). The word 'fabrica' can be used for a small blacksmith's forge, and a reference to two at this location appears in a documentary source from the 14th century. Their size is uncertain as this source indicates the rent was the same as for the large bloomery at Tudely. No evidence of such structures was discovered during a field investigation.
