Roger Couper was making collokes in Sowerby in 1337. ‘Bochecollock’ or collock-mender occurred as a by-name from the thirteenth century: 1241-52 Symon Bothocolock [sic], Broughton. One other meaning of collock seems to have escaped attention. In many early wills it was clearly a small silver object, perhaps a casket: 1391 j pecia argenti vocata collok, Scarborough
