Excerpt from Lay Subsidy Roll for the County of Worcester, Circ. 1280: Edited for the Worcestershire Historical Society
These lists do not pretend to be exhaustive; but they give some idea of the respective values of the personal chattels of the Bishop of Worcester and the Abbots of two of the religious Houses. It would be a very important item of county history to give in the same way the names of all the landowners, both ecclesiastical and lay, who were taxed in more than one vill; it would shew to a great extent the landowners of the county at the beginning of the fourteenth century, and the value of their difl'erent estates.
