The book “A Dales Heritage” (Hartley & Ingilby) using information from an account book kept by Dr. John Bathurst covering a little over a year from August 1st 1657 states: “one of the smelters, Ralph Warde owing £3, had paid off part leaving him still owing £1 I5s.” and also “Ralphe Warde also chopped wood and the other smelter, John Taylor, built up ‘Orgait house in Clints ground which was burnt’ for £1 2s 6d.”
This Ralph Warde is my 8x great grandfather!
