Description

Excerpt from The Essex Naturalist, Vol. 1: Being the Journal of the Essex Field Club; January December, 1887 It has been stated that safl'ron was introduced into England directly from Asia.' Hackluyt (1582) says that the first rootwas brought here inthe reign of Edward III., by a pilgrim from Tripoli, who concealed it in his stafl' had it been discovered, he would have been liable to the penalty of death This story may be mythical, but Edward III. Was renowned for his encouragement of industry of all kinds. To Sir Thomas Smith, a native of Walden, Secretary of State to Edward VI, is attributed the introduction of it to the town of Walden, but though it was grown to a large extent, and its cultivation certainly facilitated by him, he could scarcely have been the means of Onginating the industry, as the Charity Commissions' report speaks of two saffron gardens belonging to Gepy Simmonds, in 1481, and in the Church wardens' accounts forwalden, and. Richard III., is this entry - Itm. Payd to John Rede for pyking of V unc safron - and Flemming, a clergyman who resided in the neighbourhood, relates that in 1584 it was extensively grown here; and that in 1565 its abundance was so great that the pickers were ofl'ered half the produce for their labour. In many of the wills of the time mention is made of safl'ron gardens. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
