Hertfordshire accounts: Chelsing, Lannock and Dinsley

17 February 2016

I have transcribed the 1308 accounts drawn up for the Templars’ former estates in Hertfordshire — Chelsing, Lannock and Dinsley, and the market dues received from Baldock —  by the sheriff John of Shadworth, clerk. I haven’t yet made full translations, but the attached .pdf file includes some translations and comments on the accounts. This also includes the accounts for the Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire houses drawn up by John of Shadworth.

And here is a translation of John de Shadworth’s 1308 accounts for Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire: The Templars in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Roll One with translation
