This is one item from a Norfolk Record Office document [with the reference PD 548/79 and microform MF 718/11] and is a Valuation of land in the Parish for 1816.

It is a very detailed document listing what appears to be every strip of land and giving the owners names and the field names. These main items have been listed but for more detail the reader must see the original.

Note that gaps were left in the original to indicate what appears to be the decimal point ie. "."
The letters "B" and "Be" were at the far right hand side of the "Proprietors" column and their meaning is unknown.
The value of "ce" appears to be 15 pounds here.
Plots 9-14 appear to use 14 pounds for the value of "cb" perhaps?
