^{page 122 note 4} The loss is not really so depressing as it looks. Burgate, Soberton and Colbury were not among the ‘home’ granges of Beaulieu; they delivered no grain to the abbey. At Soberton the exitus totals are identical with the figures for threshing and winnowing, except for the wheat. Fortunately we have the wheat figures for Colbury. We may therefore take the threshing figures at least as minimal figures for the harvest at Colbury. We know the amounts purchased and sold, and also the reserve kept for seed. The figures for the grain account, keeping in mind the gap, cannot have been less than these:

The seed entry for vetches and oats may have had some bushels. But the gap which is unaccounted for is slight. As for the oats, every grange shows a very considerable home consumption, usually with a purchase. At Burgate there were no remainders, everything being sold by the end of the year, and here at Colbury there was no remainder of wheat. If there were remainders left from the preceding year, they were very small. These are, then, minimal figures which can stand comparison with those in the tables of grain set out in the Introduction.

^{page 124 note c} Something he is been lost in the left margin after this conclusion of the account.

^{page 141 note g} From Exitus grangie below.

^{page 141 note h} recte £5 4s. 8¼d.

^{page 141 note i} The large gap between the sum of the sub-totals of the Expensa necessaria, i.e. between £94 5s.2¼d. and £103 15s.7½d., makes one fear the loss of a subtotal, for which there does not seem any room or need.

^{page 141 note k} recte £126 3s. 7d.

^{page 141 note l} recte £4 15s.5d.

^{page 142 note m} In the MS. the first summa for the wheat reads 656½qu. and the second 556½qu. Next, the Granary account (76) gives the livery from St Leonards as only 53½qu., but the total of these Granary entries has itself to be corrected by 550qu. This can be given only to St Leonards, since all the other liveries are correct. The Granary wheat account needs the livery from St Leonards to be 603½qu. However, when we adopt this correction, it leaves only 53qu. for seed reserve. This is too low as compared with Holbury 24; Sowley 8; Beufre 95½; Hartford 82½; Otterwood 52½qu.

^{page 142 note n} The v.b. has been corrected from .i.b. as above, to meet the total required below.

^{page 142 note o} The excessus in the MS. has been altered and now reads 3qu.5b., but the livery to the Granary (76) is 54qu. It seems best, therefore, to assume the omission of in semine .iij.qu.

^{page 143 note p} recte 747qu.3b.

^{page 165 note 2} Beaulieu here distinguished six grades. At Whalley (Lanes.) there were four: good, medium, select locks and small locks (Lambeth Palace Library, MS. 499, fo. 236r; the same folio has a contract for sale over years and on the verso an agreement with a dubbator). The famous list of Pegalotti only distinguishes three grades: good, medium and locks.

^{page 177 note 1} Cîteaux was the mother-house of Beaulieu and, as such, had the duty of making visitations; Waverley privileged, no doubt, as being the first Cistercian foundation in England (1128).

^{page 179 note a} vel alibi interlined.

^{page 180 note b} Recovered from Ordinacio portarii (31).

^{page 182 note b} The detail available amounts to £30 15s. 6d., leaving only 1s. 2½d. for the two missing items.

^{page 182 note a} This probably indicates that four were delivered (cf. 37). So read: qui recipit iiij.

^{page 185 note a} This note is squeezed into the right hand margin, so as to refer to all the above.

^{page 185 note 1} Larder, in its function of slaughter-house.

^{page 186 note a} precium baconis .ij.s. crossed out in MS.

^{page 187 note b} MS. iiij carcoysia dim.

^{page 189 note a} There are 4qu. of salt available for this gap. The granges enter their salt received in terms of cash, thus: Hartford 3s. 6d. (25), Otterwood 1s. 11¼d. (26). As in the order of the granges Otterwood always follows Hartford, it is Otterwood which must receive the ½qu., the dim. which is waiting. Hence the sharing of the 4qu. must be 3qu. and 1qu.

^{page 189 note 1} For the saltern at Lymington, see B.C., nos. 146 and 147.

^{page 190 note a} et: this word indicated a double title and the first element can be recovered from the Camera account (81): custos de Gernemuhe.

^{page 189 note b} In left margin above Expensa, a later hand has carefully written: Hec indentura facta decimo die mensis.

^{page 189 note 1} The Beaulieu base in Great Yarmouth—land with sheds acquired by the abbey (see B.C., no. 30), was in Norvilla, on the south bank of the Yare and now under Bredon Water. That by this time they had acquired more than their original foot-hold is clear from the rents at the time of the ‘Free Fair’ (Michaelmas till Martinmas). See Henry Manship's Great Yarmouth, ed. Eccleston, A. W. (Yarmouth, 1971)Google Scholar; Manship was the Town Clerk in the early seventeenth century. Later acquisition is also clear from the valuation of £6 13s. 4d. in Taxatio Ecclesiastica Angliae et Walliae autoritate Papae Nichelai IV, circa 1291, p. 124.Google Scholar

^{page 190 note 2} Last, i.e. a boat-load or 12 barrels (O.E.D.), by rapid counting of 132,000 fish (using the long hundred of 132).

^{page 190 note 3} Perhaps ‘gutted’ (see O.E.D., corpion).

^{page 191 note c} MS. leaves a blank, probably for Blieburg'.

^{page 191 note d} MS. omits ob.

^{page 191 note e} MS. omits .ij.s.

^{page 191 note 4} This use of the singular seems to reflect the E. Anglian use of ‘herring’ as a plural; cf. plaice.

^{page 191 note 5} Frail, a fish-basket, still used in E. Anglia.

^{page 191 note 6} The Augustinian priory of Blythburgh (Suffolk) had property adjoining that of Beaulieu (see B.C., no. 30, and its Introduction). Norwich cathedral, too, had a priory in Yarmouth to serve the church of St. Nicholas.

^{page 192 note a} Restored from 33, end.

^{page 192 note b} Restored from 79.

^{page 192 note 1} Curtilage has here the sense of the kitchen-garden. It employed five men who seem to have cultivated the intervals between the monastic buildings and workshops. They also looked after the graveyard.

^{page 199 note 3} Perhaps used here just adverbially: by the reckoning in parisis'.

^{page 199 note 4} Too much has, therefore, been made of the note and the end of 26: cellarias vinarias non habemus; but the account (47) shows Beaulieu itself using 375 out of a total production of 775 vine stakes. We must say they had grapes, but had no wine; or, when they had sufficient vines, then they would make wine. For vines in medieval England, see William of Malmesbury, Gesta Pontificum. ed. Hamilton, N. E. S. A. (Rolls Series, 1870), pp. 291–2.Google Scholar

^{page 199 note 5} Faggots for heating ovens, probably just for bread.

^{page 199 note 6} This insight into charcoal-burning is valuable, yet is not reflected at all in the account itself. These small logs (coti) one foot long were laid on end, inclining inwards, in layers to build up the kiln.

^{page 200 note 1} To have the name of a Frater given in full is exceptional; hence it is very possible that the word lost was not Frater and that Guy was the forester who received 60s. a year.

^{page 201 note a} MS. inverts the figures to give £9 7s. 5½d.

^{page 201 note b} The total of the expenses and the livery should be £39 7s. 5½d. and the amount due £3 13s. ½d.

^{page 204 note 1} Puckpool, near Bembridge, Isle of Wight, source of large flat stones.

^{page 225 note a} There is a change of hand here and a clumsy abbreviation. This word could derive from perna loins, haunches; or from prenum pin. The first makes a parallel with lumbaria, so probably ‘loin-cloths’.

^{page 226 note 1} This account underlines the enormous losses of lambs (cf. Bergerie (28)), with 187 leaving skins good enough for use.

Vetches were sold at Wyke @ 2s. 8d. and at Soberton @ 3s. Though 6s. is too high for the vetch, the oats also ought not to be lifted higher by 5s.

^{page 241 note 1} The offerings of the faithful at mass had primitively been excluded from the revenue acceptable to the Order. General Chapter was very slow in permitting grange chapels even to be erected. If there were offerings, then others than conversi frequented these two chapels. A bull of Alexander IV of 1255, permitting mass to be said in grange chapels, was copied into the Faringdon Cartulary (B.L. Cotton MS. Nero A xii, fos. vii–ix). There was no parochial church in the New Forest, but it seems that there were two chapels dating from before the arrival of the monks.

^{page 241 note 2} Througham appears to be the original name of the district to the S., close to the sea, now known as Park Farm. The chapel is described as 13th century (Warner, R., Topographical Remarks Relating to the S.W. Parts of Hampshire (London, 1793) pp. 231–3)Google Scholar; it was still standing in the 18th century, but was destroyed by fire in the 19th century. When Wriothesley was granted Beaulieu in 1539, three chapels were mentioned as being within the Great Close: Beufre, Througham and St Leonards. For the possibility that there was a chapel there before the monks came, see also B.C., Introduction, p. lxv. If we are correct in identifying Trokam' with Througham (B.C., no. 155), then the district had been sold to Beaulieu by Breamore Priory (Hants.), but the charter does not mention any chapel.

^{page 242 note a} recte 12s. 9½d.

There is nothing about it in the Charter Rolls, as a charter was not needed for a vivary. This pond covered 95 acres in the eighteenth century.

^{page 258 note a} From the Granary account (76).

^{page 259 note b} MS. carrectar'.

^{page 260 note 1} Norton, in Freshwater, Isle of Wight.

^{page 260 note 1} This is the only account where the total expenditure cannot be recovered, one where expenses must have been heavy. There is, however, the final expense figure of £93 12s. 2¼d.

^{page 261 note a} recte £42 13s. 6¾d.

^{page 261 note 2} The Latin arco or arcunus could have been used.

^{page 262 note 3} Similarly bucla.

^{page 265 note a} recte £19 14s. 7¼d.

^{page 265 note b} MS. molar'.

^{page 265 note c} recte £32 6s. 3¾d.

^{page 266 note d} recte £10 2s. 6½d.

^{page 266 note e} recte £42 7s. 9¾d.

^{page 266 note f} recte £42 9s. 5¾d.

^{page 266 note g} MS. cxij.

^{page 267 note h} This complex account seems to be correct except for the 1 lb. found in the sum total which is in excess of the items, though it is required by the remainder.

^{page 267 note i} This total is already in excess, without considering the gap.

^{page 267 note j} Perhaps only one entry is missing, Boverie.

^{page 269 note a} Formula borrowed from below.

^{page 269 note 1} A rare note of congratulation to a department.

^{page 270 note b} The final o is clear, but the Granary account (76) reads singulis annis.

^{page 271 note c} See 68 under brueriam.

^{page 273 note d} MS. omits et.

^{page 273 note e} MS. veniencium.

^{page 273 note 1} Perhaps because Cornwall was in his diocese.

^{page 275 note f} Restored from Tables for Sub-cellarer (79) and Porter (31).

^{page 275 note g} The remainder of this sentence is pushed into the margin.

^{page 276 note h} MS. custode.

^{page 276 note i} Deduced from the 10d.; see Table 2, p. 54.

^{page 276 note j} From Table 48, p. 203.

^{page 277 note a} recte 9s. 1d.

^{page 277 note h} recte £7 14s. 10¾d.

^{page 278 note c} recte 8s. 3½d.

^{page 278 note 1} This makes it clear that 20 loaves were reckoned as 1 bushel.

^{page 279 note d} MS. xxvj, corrected from the Brewhouse account (57).

^{page 279 note e} This long list seems to add up to 75½ dolia 118½ gall., when the 118½ gall. have been treated as 120, i.e. half a dolium.

^{page 279 note f} There are 6b. available for the gaps in this section.

^{page 280 note g} plumbarie interlined.

^{page 280 note 2} The total consumption outside the guest-house is 2,800. Reckoning the last as 132,000 (O.E.D.), then the total consumption = 198,300, leaving for the guest-house 196,500, which seems incongruous.

^{page 281 note h} MS. prec' m'.

^{page 281 note i} MS. iiij here and also in the Summa. There is a little star to indicate an error. In account 80 the amount is 6b.

^{page 282 note a} recte £9 16s. 6¼d

^{page 282 note b} recte £2 6s. 1½d.

^{page 282 note c} recte £9 9s. 9d.

^{page 284 note a} These two prices recovered from 2.

^{page 284 note b} Inserted by a different hand.

^{page 284 note c} Inserted by the same hand as above.

^{page 285 note d} cum socio suo erased.

^{page 285 note e} This last sentence erased and written in briefer form, showing the earlier wording. This is most unusual in this MS.

^{page 286 note a} recte £119 2s. 3¾d.

^{page 286 note b} In Granary account (76) 472qu.

^{page 286 note c} recte £4 10s. 6d.

^{page 287 note d} All the entries in this section can be checked by the cross references. The remainder is calculated from the first total, but there is still a gap of 550qu. in the detail of wheat received.

^{page 287 note e} MS. sancti Leonardi.

^{page 287 note f} MS. omits .vj.b.

^{page 287 note g} The Beufre account (24) reads: .xij.qu.dim.; we have not corrected this as the total of 68qu. received matches the livery of 68qu.

^{page 287 note h} integrarum / .v.qu. fractarum omitted from MS., but recovered from 80, where crushed and uncrushed beans were distinguished. It has been restored here as the 5qu. was needed to reach the total of 68qu.

^{page 288 note i} recte 107qu. It would seem that the missing 6b. belong to the remainder from the previous year, since the rest can be cross-checked.

^{page 289 note j} dim. absent from the MS., recovered from Beufre account (24).

^{page 294 note a} MS. ostria, probably meant for ostias, altar-breads.

^{page 295 note 6} After this the MS. has crossed out: duobus servientibus hospicii cuilibet eorum unum panem conventualem liberat cotidie et panem hospitum quantum sufficit.

^{page 295 note c} There seems to be condensation or omission here. Perhaps read quando liberacionem lane in abbaciam faciunt, recipiunt, or quando liberacionem lane faciunt, in abbacia recipiunt.

^{page 297 note 1} The calculations here are more bewildering than the distribution of the different grades of bread in the Table.

^{page 298 note a} recte £9 2s. 11d.

^{page 298 note b} recte £8 18s. 1¾d.

^{page 299 note c} recte 867qu.

^{page 299 note d} recte 429qu. 5½b. 7 loaves.

^{page 299 note e} recte 63qu. 1½b. 1 loaf.

^{page 299 note f} MS. omits .dim.b.ij.panes, recovered arithmetically.

^{page 300 note g} MS. v panes.

^{page 300 note h} recte 44qu. 5 loaves.

^{page 301 note i} recte 341qu. 1½b. 13 loaves.

^{page 301 note j} recte 2qu. 6b.

^{page 301 note k} recte 405qu. lb. ½ a loaf.

^{page 301 note 2} Perhaps Nutley (Hants.); or, since there is no capital letter, it could be nucele.

^{page 301 note 3} Eleanor, the wife of the Lord Edward.

^{page 301 note 4} This is almost certainly Robert Walerand, counsellor of Henry III and leader of Edward's friends in 1264. See Powicke, F. M., King Henry III and the Lord Edward, s.v.Google Scholar Walerand.

^{page 301 note 5} His hounds killed stock; see Index under Giffard.

^{page 302 note l} recte 1094qu. 6b. 5 loaves.

^{page 302 note m} recte 37qu. 5½b. 6 loaves.

^{page 302 note n} MS. custodis.

^{page 302 note o} recte 186qu. 5½b. 18½ loaves.

^{page 302 note 6} i.e. constructing the causeway along Sowley pond.

^{page 303 note p} recte 169qu. 6½b. 9½ loaves.

^{page 303 note q} recte 145qu. 5½b. 4 loaves.

^{page 303 note r} recte 335qu. 7b. 7 loaves.

^{page 303 note s} recte 1091qu. 1½b. 3½ loaves. If any of the above corrections are disputed, the grand total at any rate, is correct to half a loaf.

^{page 304 note t} Right hand marginal note: omnes qui furfur faciunt declarare, or perhaps more meaningfully opportet quantum furfur faciunt declarare.

^{page 304 note a} At this point two thirds of the folio are cut away.

^{page 304 note 1} No section of the manuscript has been so brutally cut about as this table, but fortunately the account itself is virtually intact. By using the index, we have ventured to enter in skeleton form the substance of what is missing. Therefore what is in English has only editorial authority.

^{page 305 note b} Restored from 18.

^{page 305 note c} The probable heading of a list of prices (cf. 50). Of this there survive, on the right hand stub of the folio, genitive plural endings with: .xvj.d., .viij.d., .x.d., .vj.d., .iiij.d. communibus annis.

^{page 305 note 2} We have printed these scraps in the hope that some other Cistercian document may be found to help.

^{page 305 note 3} The only mention of paid copyists.

^{page 306 note d} Recovered from 19.

^{page 308 note a} MS. omits ob.

^{page 308 note b} recte £61 12s. 1d.

^{page 309 note c} This is not a slip, the number of eggs entered is 17,017.

^{page 309 note d} recte £6 os. 2¾d.

^{page 309 note e} Almost certainly in turba fodienda.

^{page 309 note f} This ob. is not required by the sum total or the adjustments.

^{page 310 note g} The Holbury account (21) has 540.

^{page 310 note h} The detail amounts to 8 lasts 3,600 without increasing Holbury.

^{page 311 note i} b and a in the margin indicate that Haddock should have preceded Mackerel, as elsewhere.

^{page 311 note j} The Otterwood account (26) reads 400.

^{page 311 note k} The items only amount to 7,750.

^{page 312 note l} dim.: supplied from the St Leonard's account (23) gives the desired total.

^{page 312 note m} recte 57cwt. 6 stone 41b.

^{page 312 note n} recte 6cwt. 6 stone 71b.

^{page 312 note o} recte 5cwt. 6 stone ilb.

^{page 313 note p} For the profits from the boat which brought the fish, see 29 and 30.

^{page 313 note q} Marginal note similar to the note in vinarium (26).

^{page 313 note 1} Fortunately the account of the central financial office is complete and correct.

^{page 315 note 2} Probably Philip Porter (cf. 15), since the top of the / is visible. He does not appear in B.C.

^{page 315 note 1} The series of accounts comes to an end, correctly according to Cistercian principles, with the statement of the centralised receipt, the camera (81). But both the Beaulieu and the Faringdon books append tables for the hours of hired workers, their ordinario and their payment. Beaulieu divides this into two parts: Tabula mercenariorum and Tabula stipendiorum familie, while Faringdon has only one section: Tabula quantitatis mercenariorum. Since the matter is parallel but not identical we will first put the conditions (82) and then the wages (83), though this involves slightly breaking the sequence of the books.

^{page 315 note 2} What monks call ‘eating in second table’ (for servers and the reader during the meal).

^{page 316 note a} More probably gratiam piscium, a gift of fish, than grampus.

^{page 316 note b} MS. omits Loci.

^{page 316 note 3} Abbot, el. 1340.

^{page 318 note 1} The grange of St Leonards extended to the river and also to the sea while the grange system lasted. The land along the river below Saltershill and round the coast to Sowley is low-lying and must all originally have been marshy. There have been frequent invasions by the sea and the farms there (Park and Warren) still have their marsh grazing. However, nothing of this is mentioned in Account 23.

^{page 320 note a} sic in MS.

^{page 320 note 1} In the Account-Book these five documents are written on the first third of a folio pasted inside the front cover. The second third is blank, then there is a tear beginning on the left and going down to the middle of the base. This has removed half of the document written on the lowest third. The first five documents concern Faringdon only and were also incuded in B.C. with slight variations. In B.C. they are numbered 297, 299, 3013, 298 and 300.

^{page 321 note 2} cf. B.C., no. 300.

^{page 321 note 3} One third of this document is missing, as shown by the videlicet, which stretches over the whole line. It concerns the payment of tallage by the men of Faringdon, whenever the king exacted tallage (see B.C., Index: tallagium). The names of the tenants here named can be found in a rent-roll of 1273 (Berks. Record Office, D/EE1 M92). If the badly written word before Petrum is indeed fratrem, he will be the monk-custodian of Faringdon.

^{page 321 note 4} Named in Cons. Bodl., fo. 82v.
