I never considered a tablecloth before and found this interesting. What other purpose can you conceive of for a fine linen cloth that long and wide? It would be excellent for covering a trencher (archaic for long table) length table. Other wise, there's not much other use I can think of.

I always thought shroud cloths would be specially made for that purpose but it makes sense that families would repurpose tablecloths as shrouds.
