TAUNTON PllIOIlY. 121 



A comparison of the values here given with those of 

 the same localities as presented in the " Valor " does 

 not offer, Avith the exception of one department, many 

 cases of notable difference : indeed, in several instances the 

 sums are identical. The exception is in the increase in 

 the Perquisites of the Courts, which, for example, in 

 Middelton are stated in the " Yalor " to be vj^ viij'', and in 

 the "Minister's Aecounts " to amount to c^ vj'^ ; and in 

 Willond, Tobrige, Pixston, and Canon Street, to be 

 respectively ix', xvj'^, iij' iiij'^, and xxx^ in the " Valor," 

 and vjii xvij' x'^, vj^' vj'^, xxiij^^ viij' iiij'', and xx^ viij' iiij'^ 

 in the later retum. 



We have now, in conclusion, to see how the spoil was 

 divided. 



Sir William Zouch has already been mentioned as the 

 founder of the Priory of Staverdale. It appears that the 

 possessor of the name at the period at which we have 

 arrived was determined if possible to regain as his portion
