1655: So popular was tobacco growing in the area the Gloucestershire hangman lamented: Harry Hangmans Honour, or the Gloucestershire Hangmans Request to the Smokers and Tobacconists of London, a quarto pamphlet in the Kings Collection, June 11, 1655 The very planting of tobacco hath proved the decay of my trade, for since it hath been planted in Gloucestershire, especially at Winchcombe, my trade hath proved nothing worth. He adds: Then twas a merry world with me, for indeed before tobacco was there planted, there being no kind of trade to employ men, and very small tillage, necessity compelled poor men to stand my friends by stealing of sheep and other cattel, breaking of hedges, robbing of orchards, and what not. 1658: Thomas Colclough became a Common Councillor of the City of London
