The entry concerning staples and nails for the banner poles may have nothing at all to do with the event for which the liveries were bought (presumably the Cain Play) but it appears just before the livery entry. John Knight appears frequently in the accounts before 1523–4 for odd jobs around the church such as cleaning and mending.
