Also found as THREE SHUTTLES

In 1861 the name of house is given in the census as The PYERNS. Apparently a PIRN is known today as a form of shuttle once important in the development of the Flying Shuttle.


On Wednesday 1st December 1869 John Plunkett appeared before the Magistrates, summoned to show cause why he should not contribute to the support of his wife, who was at that time an inmate of the Borough Asylum, at the cost of 12s a week.
Mr. Plunkett said he could not contribute anything in consequence of bad trade. Such were his problems that he had been compelled to sell his horse and cart, and had four children at home who needed his support.
At the time Mrs Plunkett was removed to the Asylum, he was ordered to make payments of 2s 6d per week, but he had only managed to make four payments.
The bench studied his accounts books and agreed it was a hard case, but ordered that he must pay 2s 6d per week.
