ABSTRACT

23 WINCHESTER COLLEGE term of 1553, straw at 3.33s. per load. A contract was possibly made with these two men from 1553 at the same rate (see 3.33s. per load occurring again in 1567-68, 1570-71, etc.). In 1570 both entries in the first term are recorded as coming from a tenant. From 1554 many purchases are stated to be from Stoke Park and these, although not all on the same level, are generally low in price. The entry for wheat straw from Stoke Park in 1567 is stated to be from a tenant, by contract. All prices recorded as coming from Stoke Park are printed in angular brackets. Other prices not so specified but on equally low levels possibly include Stoke purchases but cannot be assigned exclusively to this source-barley straw at 2s. per load in the first term of 1575 was bought at Twyford.
