What is a Warrick seller?

[fisherj]

Does anyone have any idea what a warrick seller might have been?

The term is mentioned in a will dated 1764 in Gorran Parish Cornwall.

I wonder if it has some connection with boats....

Many thanks

Is there a name before the words.

Can we link to the will to have a look.

Thanks for your reply - towards the end of the list of beneficiaries..."Philip pill warricks seller".

(Pill was the surname of one of the deceased's son-in-laws and mentioned above in the will.)

It is a puzzle,  I'm guessing the Phillip Pill named twice is the same person.
Are there any records relating to him that might help.

No  - there is a miller called Philip Pill...

Could 'Seller' be  'Cellar'. - it does mention rent

There is a suggestion that it could be “warrock”, a type of wedge used to tighten wooden scaffolding, and/tension the ropes.
May also have a connection with ships rigging or fishing nets as a local term.

I await being corrected

English:
variant of Warwick .
from Middle English warrok ‘wedge or twisting stick used to tighten the lashings on a scaffold’, perhaps a metonymic occupational name for a maker of warrocks or a builder of scaffolds. In the building trades the lashings for scaffolds were tightened by driving in wedges called warrocks.

I agree . I don't think warrick seller is his occupation. The sentence reads " I give unto Philip Pill warricks seller during Richard Henna Junior's life ..."
