Apprenticeship indenture used in school group visits

This apprenticeship indenture binds a child to Thomas Hibbs of Nottingham, a hairdresser, for the ‘term’ of seven years for one penny. During these seven years the child would learn Thomas Hibb's trade, and become a hairdresser. School pupils today can ‘sign-up’ on a copy of the same indenture!
