Notes

  • In other rate documents the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
    Froker/Faiker, Loms/Lones, Spurill/Spurrell
  • The quality of some of the Land Tax fiche is poor.
  • The entry for amounts to pay for the exonerated land should not have been filled in as there was nothing due.
