tenterground

Godfrey Fuller's tenterground stood empty, the drying cloth just unhooked and rolled up for finishing.

Now he was opposite the tenterground, where Godfrey Fuller's men were working, and a length of brown cloth was stretched taut between the frames to dry.

The only remaining reminders of the town were here close beside the river, Godfrey Fuller's sheds and fulling-troughs and tenterground, and a short way beyond, the substantial warehouse where William Hynde's best fleeces lay corded and ready, waiting for the middleman's barge to come and collect them, and the narrow, stout jetty where it would draw alongside to load.

Only the dyeing of the fleeces and fulling of the cloth were put out into the experienced hands of Godfrey Fuller, who had his dye-house and fulling-works and tenterground just down-river, under the wall of the castle.
