The number of tenements that had formerly owed a given service 

 but by 1376 had decayed, as well as the total number of services 

 of this kind that by 1376 had decayed, can be readily ascertained 

 from the table on pp. 60, 61. Thus it is found from this table 

 that in 1376-8 18 decayed tenements were charged with 1081 winter 

 (week-) works. Now the total number of winter works due from the 

 manor was 1505. It is therefore probable that these 1505 works 

 were formerly borne by some 25 tenements. In like manner the 

 number of tenements owing the several sorts of payments in kind 

 and services may be found. The following table gives the results 

 obtained : 



Salt-penny was due from 18 tenements 



Malt was made by 2i tenements 



Winter week-works were due from 25 tenements 



Summer 26 



Oats were due from 36 tenements 



Autumn cartings were due from 64^ tenements 



Autumn works 78 



Hens ii6 2 



Averagia 134 



The table shows the approximate distribution of the different 

 kinds of services upon the tenements about 1376. There is, however, 

 reason to suppose that at a much earlier time, a century or more 

 before, the distribution was somewhat different. For the original

- In. in 1272-1306, 60 additional hens were paid as lok silver.' These were probably 

 a fixed charge upon the whole manor and not divided among the different tenements.
