Notes
The properties are assigned to three separate columns in the original document: Fields, Houses and Sundries, with a number for each (see Fig 2 left). The Fields category is self-explanatory, the Houses category is not. Although the column heading specifies number of houses it is clear from the context that in some cases the number refers to individual buildings and in others to multiple occupancy of individual buildings. The Sundries column includes non-residential buildings such as shops; again, the numbers can refer to individual buildings or parts of a building.
In some cases the annual rental values and acreages are not assigned to individual occupants but are given for the whole property. This is indicated in the entries below thus: annual rental value (joint) and acreage (joint)
Occasionally more than one location is listed in an entry. In these cases the locations given below refer to the occupants listed above them in the entry.
Sometimes the name of the occupant is followed by ‘etc’. This would seem to suggest additional occupants in the property.
The date refers to the day on which the survey of these properties was carried out.
Coverage
This was another day recording fields and their owners and occupiers. The surveyors seem to have set off on Fishergate by the barrs, listing the fields to the north of Fishergate as far as Fryer Lane (the present Marsh Lane). Their perambulation took them to the oddly named Standprick Lane, Broadgate (the present Fishergate Hill), North Meadow Lane, the marsh, Alley Lane, Maudlin Lane and Friargate Town End. Places identified: Ropers Croft, Sikes, Brick Hill Field, Habitarsall Field, Hep-grave, Ratcliff Hey, Sadler’s Croft, Washing pond Field, Crooked Acres, Head Grave, Goldsmiths Bank, Lancaster Meadow, Dub’d Hedge, Golden Hill, Little Meadow, Wood-holm, Davel or Dayfield Meadow, Walshman Brow, possibly Little Sikes, Bugmire Hole, Santer’s Croft, Bell Founder, Maudlin Field.
