The earliest record of pewter-making in Jersey is from 1548, a dispute between two brothers over a set of moulds for casting pewter, Nicollas Jennes being ordered to return to Jean “... ses moulles du metier destaymer ... “ (his moulds of the business of pewterer). Nicollas is also mentioned in 1540, but the court records before that date were destroyed in a fire, so pewtering in the island was most likely well established by that time.
