A few more suggestions.

Inventory was taken on 10 December 1642 (not 13th)

… two cubberds and other necessaryes     

… w(i)th the rest of the furniture
 
… one harnes and other Implements
                                                                                                     
… and all the lyn(n)en w(i)th other comodityes   
                 
… coop(er)y wares …

... the corne and hay already med

… Scaffoulds shovells fewell and all other things whatsoev(er) unpriced

John Stevenage (I don't think it's Vicar, it seems to end ...cler ?)

Notes
harnes = harness
coopery ware = cooper’s utensils
already med = already made (growing)
deads yeare = allowance for sown crops which will grow and therefore accrue in value during the year following the death

(in the Latin) Wigorn = Wigornia = Worcester

Much appreciated.

John Stevenage (I don't think it's Vicar, it seems to end ...cler ?)

I think it's John Stevenage's initials JS, then cler[icus] - minister.

The Clergy Database shows John Stevenage being appointed Perpetual Vicar of Tysoe in 1605. There's no further record for him to show when he died or was appointed elsewhere, and the next record for Tysoe isn't until 1790, but his ordination record gives his age as 27 in 1602, so it's quite possible that he was still there in 1642.

Good call, arthurk. I saw the Clergy Database entry for 1605, but thought he probably wouldn't still have been there in 1642. But you're probably right.

Thank you ArthurK and Bookbox

Does your expertise extend into English lady's clothing in the late 1700's?
I would have three images of paintings:
1. The Hon. Dorothy Petcher but the image could be Elizabeth Ann Petch [Mrs. Samuel Tomkins of Carpenters' Hall died 1810] or  her mother Mrs. Mary Petch, nee Ellis, d. 1821, the relict of William Petch, Page of the Backstairs to George 111 d.1771 the king's hairdresser
2.Mrs. Charlotte Papendik, nee Albert. She played with Elizabeth Ann Petch as a child, as her father Frederick Albert was the German born hairdresser of Queen Charlotte.
3. Lucy Tomkins, the wife of painter Petro William Tomkins

All three have half sleeves with a puff of material.

The first is my direct ancestor.
