Beccles.

336. _Clekit House._--In the will of John Buttery of Bury, 1557, is this

item:

"My capitall mesuage, with the maltinge house and the tenement

called Banyards, with all the gardaines, yards, and close, to them

belonginge,--except the ij tenements called the _Clekit_ House."

What is the meaning of _Clekit_? In the E.-Anglian dialect, _clicket_ is

"to chatter." Phillips has "CLICKET, the knocker of a door, but Chaucer

uses it for a key."
