<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Renee Yancy, post: 4437925, member: 12535&quot;]Tanneries are bad but woad villages might have been even worse. The production of woad caused an odor described as something like cat urine and rotten cabbage mixed with feces. It was nauseating. So nauseating, in fact, that Queen Elizabeth I issued a proclamation in 1585 that forbade the production of woad within four miles of a market town and five miles from any of the Queen’s residences![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
