Apprenticeships were a system where a craftsman took on a young person in order to teach them their professional skills. An apprentice was placed with or bound to a master for at least 7 years. This was the law until 1814. In 1601, the Overseers of the Poor were given the ability to bind pauper children to a master; anyone under 21 who refused was imprisoned until they found a master. In 1709, The Stamp Act put a tax on the indenture. An apprenticeship indenture was a legal document whereby a master, in exchange for a sum of money, agreed to instruct the apprentice in his or her trade for a set term of years. The provision of food, clothing and lodging was generally part of the agreement. System lle gallai crefftwr gyflogi unigolyn ifanc i'w ddysgu sut i arfer ei sgil proffesiynol oedd prentisiaeth. Byddai prentis o dan rwymedigaeth i weithio gyda'i feistr am o leiaf 7 mlynedd. Dyma oedd y gyfraith hyd 1814. Ym 1601, rhoddwyd y grym i Oruchwylwyr y Tlodion osod plant tlodion gyda meistr; byddai unrhyw un dan 21 oed a wrthodai yn cael ei garcharu nes iddo ddod o hyd i feistr. Ym 1709, yn sgil y Ddeddf Stampiau, trethwyd y cytundeb. Dogfen gyfreithiol oedd cytundeb prentisiaeth a oedd yn galluogi meistr, yn gyfnewid am swm o arian, gytuno i hyfforddi'r prentisiaeth yn ei grefft am dymor penodol. Yn gyffredinol, byddai darparu bwyd, dillad a llety yn rhan o'r cytundeb hwn.
