Can’t see specimen but DUNNO is a bird ringer’s abbreviation for Dunnock. Parasites / flat flies collected from a dunnock, perhaps?

Sarah, you are probably correct; the first known records of Pholcus phalangioides in Britain are from the mid-19th century, believed to have arrived with wine imports from SW France. However, that trade existed in the 16thC, so not impossible the species arrived sooner, just no one looking!
