The subsidy roll under consideration is remarkable, not only 
for the beauty of the writing, but also for the amount of 
information it contains. Other rolls only record the name of the 
landowner and the worth of his property, but this gives the 
names of the various manors and the proportion of his share in 
each. But unfortunately all the Somerset manors are not 
included in it, as a proprietor had the privilege of being assessed 
in any one of the counties in which he held property, and the 
rolls for other counties give none of the information for which 
this particular roll is remarkable. As it is not mentioned by 
Collinson or any county historian, I trust it may form a useful 
addition to local history.
