| Meaning |
The fletcher, a maker of arrows. The pattern-makers petitioned the Commons in 1464 to have restored to them the use of the 'Tymber called aspe,' lately the monopoly of arrow manufacturers, 'So that the Flecchers thorough the Reame (realm) may sell their arrows at more esy price.' In the Old Guilds we find the Bowyers and Fletchers invariably walking together.
