The Publications of the Bedfordshire Historical Record Society volume 63
Content:
On the dissolution of the smaller monasteries in 1536, the Court of Augmentations was set up to administer their property until such time as other arrangements, such as sales, could be arranged. Commissioners made an inventory of their property: local men rented and administered them and paid the income into the Court of Augmentations. This volume and volume 64 contain the accounts for the property of Bedfordshire religious houses and the property in Bedfordshire of religious houses in other counties. The accounts are very thorough and include, for example, the names and rents of copyhold tenants and descriptions of the acreage, fields, crops or livestock on many properties. The volume contains a tribute In Memoriam to H. Gordon Tibbutt (1913-1982).
