The origin of the word

RIGMAROLE

Rigmarole comes from the Middle English "ragman roll," a game of chance involving reading silly verses from a scroll, evolving by the 18th century to mean a long, rambling, or complicated procedure.

The "ragman" part might link to a medieval game character or even a Scandinavian word for slanderer, while the "roll" referred to the scroll itself, leading to the modern sense of a tedious, nonsensical process.

The origin of the surname Barker

Barker Gate in the Lace Market in 1966. It got its name because this was where many tanners lived, using a by-product of oak bark called tannin in the tanning process.

Oak bark stacked, ready to be transported by rail. By the 1820s, domestic production likely decreased to between 60,000 and 70,000 tons per year.

During the spring and summer, oak bark is peeled from felled oak trees. This bark is then allowed to dry for a period of two to three years before being finely ground.

The history of this craft goes back to around the bronze age, some of the earliest bark tanneries would have been pits lined with timber and filled with bark, bark rubbed directly into the hide or case skinned hides filled with bark and water and hung from a tree to tan.

Oak bark is full of tannin which help cure hides - a fascinating and ancient process.

Nottingham. The area still looks similar looking down to what's now the ice stadium.
