Appendix: Account of the Chamberlain's Clerk, 1535-6

APPENDICES (Extracts from Chamber Accounts 1)

282. As explained in the Introduction Chamber Accounts 1 consists chiefly of draft and fragmentary accounts, bound in considerable confusion. An attempt has been made to date the material and a tentative guide to the volume, by date, is available in CLRO. Nevertheless, it must be emphasised that, without further research into the internal evidence, a degree of uncertainty attaches to some of the attributions of date between 1562 and 1578, and consequently to a few of the selected extracts and references in these appendices, although it is unlikely that any errors in dating will exceed a year or two.

All folio references are to the sequence of numbers at the foot of the leaves of the manuscript.

A. ACCOUNT OF THE CHAMBERLAIN'S CLERK 1535–36

283. This account for the financial year Michaelmas 27 Henry VIII–Michaelmas 28 Henry VIII (1535–36) is the earliest in Chamber Accounts 1 and contains a number of entries in respect of chantries and obits and the payment of quitrents to monastic houses which do not, of course, appear in the post-Reformation accounts. It is not the city's cash account but a subsidiary account, kept quarterly by Richard Maunsell, 'Mr Chamberlain's clerk and servant', (fn. 1) which would have been one of several preliminary accounts used in compiling the chamberlain's account for that year. It contains a record of certain payments, made in respect not only of the general account but also of the Philipot, Carpenter and Reynwell estates, (fn. 2) and of the monies received by Richard Maunsell to balance his disbursements. Each quarter of the account contained 3 sections. First, a brief, untotalled, list of sums received on the vigil of the quarter day, most of which were rent farms. Second, the very much longer list of payments, which were almost exclusively of a kind which would recur from year to year, such as fees paid to officers and artificers as well as quitrents, annuities, charitable alms and obits; (fn. 3) many were paid quarterly, some half yearly and a few annually. The third section showed the amounts received by Maunsell by way of the receipts of the rent farms listed in the first section, plus money received directly from the chamberlain, plus also, if necessary, an allowance upon his indenture as rent gatherer of the city lands, to make up the total which he is recorded in the second section as having disbursed. The account was examined and annotated by the chamberlain, George Medley, who marked a small number of items 'pd per me' and one, the rent for the prebendal manor of Finsbury, as paid by William Vere, the rent gatherer of the manor, and also supplied some of the sectional totals. It appears to be Medley's hand which supplied the figures to be found in the bottom corner of most of the pages, occasionally preceded by an abbreviation which would seem to stand for probatur [agreed or examined]; these figures give a total for the page, sometimes distinguishing between the amount paid by the chamberlain and Vere and that paid by Maunsell. The total expenditure for the year, whether disbursed by Maunsell, the chamberlain or Vere, viz. £557.16s.1d., is given at the end of the account.

284. The account is calendared in its reconstructed order and not in the sequence of the folios as at present bound. The entries, which in the manuscript are generally single line entries, are grouped in paragraphs. Where there is no natural division the entries on one page have been placed in one paragraph since most pages have the sum of the entries at the foot. Annotations by George Medley, the chamberlain, are given within angle brackets ( ). Nearly all the entries in the original are marked in the left margin with a cross, not reproduced in the calendar, which apparently indicated actual payment or receipt; /// represents a symbol used occasionally in the original when the amount of the fee was not entered; di' ai' is rendered as 'half a year'. Any explanatory footnote is given only on the first occurrence of the relevant item in the account.

285. The beginning of this account, probably including a heading as well as the list of receipts on the vigil of the Nativity of Our Lord, is missing.
