But the Anglo-Saxon influence lasted past 1066, which I think is more to the
point here than the upper-level political structure. Part of the question
here about whether clay vessels or wooden or bread trenchers were used might
depend more on the class level of the feast than where it is held.

While this file in my Florilegium might have some info, I don't think any
of it is specific enough to answer the original question:

utensils-msg     (124K)  8/ 3/98    Utensils, plates, trenchers, cast iron pots.
