A tally (or tally stick) was an ancient memory aid device used to record and document numbers, quantities, or even messages. Tallies have been used for numerous purposes such as messaging and scheduling, and especially in financial and legal transactions, to the point of being currency. This paper, presented at the Association's 1880 Totnes meeting describes and discusses an ancient tally discovered in one of Barnstaple's muniment chests.
