Footnotes
Most of the parish charges bear the same or similar ratios to each other as do those of 1677. The inserted figures have largely been derived by using the 1677 proportions. Others do not permit this kind of interpolation. The Bishops Frome charge seems to have been deliberately understated; were it not so, the total charge for Egleton, Bishops Frome and Haymonds Frome would bear exactly the same relation to the total as does the charge for the whole parish in 1677. There is, however, no agreement in the charges on the various parts of Ledbury parish. The charge for ‘Ledbury Forren’ is puzzling because the Foreign is already wholly covered by the charges on Wallhills etc., Wellington, Muchell and Leadon and Haffield. As the other hundred charges under the 1661 and 1672 quotas and in this document show very similar proportions to the county charge, there must be a presumption that the Radlow charge should be about 12·7% of the county (without Hereford) charge. This requires the deduction of the ‘Ledbury Forren’ charge of £363, leaving the final hundred total of £1,732 13s 4d.
