by the actual return, while in otliers it was deficient. 

 Attached to tlie Community was a demesne of 268 acres of 

 arable land, of whicli 200 were valued at 12d. an acre ; 

 and the remaining 68 at 7d. an acre, amounting together 

 to £12 16s. There were also 42 acres of meadow, whereof 

 three were taten by the Sisters. Of the remaining 39 the 

 value of each was 2s., and of the whole 78s. There was 

 also a small church, " una parva ecclesia," appropriated to 

 the Prlory, of the annual value of 403. Two mills were an 

 additional source of income, which, with assessed rent, paid 

 by free tenants to their landlord, amounted to £10. The 

 fines and perquisites of the mauor courts were valued at 

 20s. The confraria, or voluntary contribution froni the 

 neighbourhood, whether constant or exceptional is unccrtain, 

 hardly produced this year the sum of 80 marcs.

 manor for a whole year would scai'ce be suflScient to repair 

 the damage. 220 acres were attached to it, 200 of which 

 were valued at 12d., and 20 at lOd. an acre, together 

 £10 16s. Bd. There were 28 acres of pasture, valued at 

 8d. an acre ; 18 acres and a half of meadow, valued at 2s. 

 an acre; 52 acres of pasture, valued at 4d. an acre ; assessed 

 rent £20 3s. per annum ; fines and perquisites of the manor 

 courts, 40s. ; works and customary Services of the native 

 villani, commuted, I presume, into a money-rent, 40s. ; the 

 appropriated rectory, valued at 18 marcs ; and pasture in 

 moor and M'ood, at 6s. 8d. 



The total amount of receipt and profit from the entire 

 manor, with its member, was 186 marcs, 10s. 4d.
