Notes

  • 1. In the transcription of the Poll Book the modern spelling of place names has been added in brackets "()" to many of the entries so that a search will find them.
  • 2. "(-)" indicates who was voted for but this is included in count for original page.
  • 3. Errata says [Page 197] For Le Grice, Cl. read Le Grice Robert, Cl. - this has been corrected here.
  • 4. There is also a Belaugh in South Erpingham Hundred.
  • 5. Eynsford is also spelt as "Eynesford" in some documents.

Places with no voters

The following places :-
    "BRANDISTON and GUTON" and THURNING  
had no one who lived there and voted because of a freehold in the same place.

Note that many people still voted based on a freehold held elsewhere. An example of this is Stow Bardolph with no entries but with the following :-

  • Francis Rising is under Hockering because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.
  • William Barton a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Wiggenhall because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.
