An archaic or obsolete term for a baker or someone who operates an oven or furnace.
From Old English and Middle English, derived from 'furne' or 'furn' (furnace/oven), with the agent suffix -er, making it a synonym for furnace operator or baker.
The word furner disappeared from English around the 1600s, but if you visit old British town records, you'll find it in guild documents listing craftspeople—'furner' was once a respected trade title like 'smith' or 'miller.'
