With one significant exception the three lists of medieval accounts aim to cover all the medieval accounting material found in the Durham Cathedral Archive, together with items from the series of accounts that has been found elsewhere. The
exception is material relating to the collection of taxation, briefly listed below: for this to be dealt with properly will require examination of the corresponding material in The National Archives.
In the lists that follow all items without further description are accounts. Entries in italics (without a DCD reference number) are cross-references to items within other series of the Durham Cathedral Archive or elsewhere. For all other
accounting material a brief indication of its nature is given, in terms that match those used in the reference to the document, e.g. Bursar, Sale of Tithes. The dates covered by each item are given as fully as possible, and where these are not taken
directly from the heading, either because it is lost or damaged, or because it does not give full details, this is shown by square brackets, [ ]. Where more than one version of a document occurs it is marked within the description by a series of
letters (A), (B) etc. On a few occasions there are two different documents of the same type in the same year, which have separate entries, such as Status, 1328 (A) and Status, 1328 (B) - where these have separate entries they are different
documents, where included under the same heading they are duplicates.
Transferred into the custody of the university by the Dean and Chapter of Durham in 1947.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from Durham Cathedral Library (library@durhamcathedral.co.uk). The Library will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners, but
responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material.
The large group of medieval accounts was previously listed in a single catalogue, but as more detail is added it has expanded and has been divided into three catalogues (December 2017) as follows:

ff.1-2. Houghall manor account: [c.29 Sept.] 1348 - [c.29 Sept.] 1349 (two pieces)
... [c. Michaelmas] ...8 - same feast 1349
... [Gilbert Ferande]
Two pieces of parchment, ff. 2r and 1v being the face, with the whole of the Cash
account and first section of grain account. A strip from the foot is missing, but the amount missing is negligible as all sub-totals are present.
The approximate opening date of the account is indicated by the liveries of wheat to carters and ploughmen over a period of 42 weeks, starting Sunday after Michaelmas
is from first cash section where there is a livery of £6 from John of Newton, the bursar. His account for 1349 records such a payment to three manors, naming the
in each case: Dalton ('duas tallias'), Houghall and Pittington ('unam talliam' each). Pittington is excluded by entries on f. 2v for a livery of barley to Pittington and one of beans and peas from there.
ff. 157-158. 29 Sept. 1348 - 29 Sept 1349 (two pieces)
... [Michael] archangel 1348 - same feast ..49
Two pieces of parchment, ff. 158 and 157v being the face, with a strip containing the end of the Cash Account missing from the foot.. approximately one line
is missing between the two pieces: the entries for peas and beans on f. 158v seem sufficient to account for the total on f. 157r, with the last words of the final entry lost.
f.159 and [?] f.2* Pittington manor account: [4 Oct. 1349 - c.14 Jan. 1350] (frag[s ?])
... [4 October 1349 - c. 14 January 1350]
... [John del Wra]
f. 2* is a narrow vertical strip that may have been part of this account. f. 159v
contains the end of the cash account and beginning of grain account; f. 159r the end of the stock accounts.
Balance of cash account indicates accountant responsible was followed by '... .ayles'. The Bursar's account for 11 November 1349 - 11 November 1350 records two liveries to Pittington, one to John del Wra, the other to John del Sayles. entries for
liveries of wheat provide evidence for precise dating. One refers to a period of 6 weeks ending Sunday after Martin; in 1349 - Sunday 4 October - 15 November. Another entry refers to period from start of account to the Sunday after closure as 15
weeks, showing account opened on a Sunday; that period was as deduced is substantially supported by a further entry reading 'Sunday after Martin - 17 ...'.
ff. 1-2 and 196 Billingham manor estate: [11 Nov. 1341 - 29 Sept. 1342] (frags)
... [11 November 1341 - 29 September 1342]
... [John Mareschall]
Four separate pieces of parchment used as flyleaves; f. 1 is formed by a later blank leaf to which two separate pieces, each blank on one side, have been stuck, one to the
recto the other to the verso. The pieces comprise: f. 196r, Cash Expenses sections for ironwork and various expenses; f. 2v, finalCash Expenses sections and total; f. 1v Works account; f. 1r, beginning of grain account; f. 196v, Grain Accounts for
[barley?], oats, and [malt?]; f. 2r, Stock Accounts.
Unless these pieces are from a roll of Enrolled Manorial Accounts, the latest of which now extant is for 1325-6, f. 196 back and front are from a single manorial account, as are f. 2 back and front. On such accounts written, as here, from the
same end on both sides, the grain account would normally start at the top of the dorse, but here f. 1r is blank on the other side. Although f. 196 rv is clearly in another hand from the other pieces, all may be parts of the same account (there are
three hands in the account for Billingham 1339-40.
Three of the pieces bear clear evidence that they are from a Billingham account: Billingham tenants are the source of the bulk of the works on f. 1v, while the Billingham tithes are the responsibility of the accountant on ff. 1r and 2v. For f.
196 there is an entry on f. 196r that mentions Billingham, probably in connection with pasture for stock, while the eighteen oxen fed on f. 196v accord with the numbers given in the oxen account on f. 2r
The date of f. 196 can be securely established. The Granator is named as [William of] Stapleton; he succeeded Robert of Benton between 29 September 1340 and 11 November 1341 (Bearpark Account 1340-1), and was in turn succeeded by William of
Goldsborough (Misc.Ch. 5831). Expenses of oats refer to Dunstan's day as Sunday, and the vigil of Barnabas as Monday; between 1340 and 1344 19 May and 10 June fell on these days in 1342. From the same section it is clear that the account opened at
Martinmas at the latest and so covers 1341-2.
Substantial evidence points to the same date for the other pieces. Like f. 196v, f. 2v refers to the Terrar as William of Charlton, also to the Bursar as Robert of Benton, who accounted as such from c. 12 May 1341, and to the Prior's Chaplain as
Richard of Bickerton, who became Almoner on 1 November 1345(Almoner's Account 1345). The numbers of stock given at beginning and end of account do not match those given on the Billingham account for 28 September 1343 - 26 September 1344, showing
that this account does not immediately precede or follow that account. The entry for Richard of Tynemouth's expenses accords with the entry on the Bursar's Accounts for 1341-2, indicating that he was at Bewley for his health; by January 1343 he was
at Finchale (3.6.Pont.4)
is given in an entry in the wheat account, f. 1r, which also gives the time covered by the account as 46 weeks. This is exactly the period between Martinmas in one year and Michaelmas in the
next; support for taking this to be the period covered here comes from the Bearpark Account that covers the period Martinmas 1341 - Michaelmas 1342, and also the 1340-1 accounts for Pittington and Westoe, which both closed at Martinmas 1341.
ff. 2 and 233 Bursar's Arrears and debts, [Summer 1308, from c. 1290 onwards]:
... [Arrears from c.1290 - summer 1308, outstanding summer 1308]
An indenture listing arrears and debts due to the Bursar was apparently cut up to form the
front and back pastedowns and fly-leaves of this book, with f.2r following below f.233r after a small gap, and, as the dorse, f.2v below f.233v. Text was cut away along each edge and the main heading is lost, together with the headings to the first
sections of the list. Each of the surviving columns seems to cover about four half-year terms, with little lost at the top, suggesting that the Pentecost term 1290 headed the column that survives in part on the left edge, and it is likely that this
was the first column since the end of the list is found at this point on the other side of the parchment; the last term covered is the half-year running from Martinmas 1307, followed by the list of debts. The date of the indenture, the date on which
the arrears listed were outstanding, cannot be earlier than the end of the last term covered, in early summer 1308, but it does not appear to be much later, as the total differs from the totals of the "magnum cyrograffum" at Martinmas 1308, 1309 and
1310 [Bursars Accounts 1308-9 (B), 1309-10]; a possible date would be between 10.viii.1308 and 26.x.1308 when the Bursar's office changed hands [Misc.Ch.5051
; Misc.Ch.4612].

Two membranes from the middle of a roll. The placing of an endorsement c.1500 at the head of the first membrane indicates that no membranes remained above then. The water-damage that completely obscures parts of the roll may have happened by
then: the endorsement refers only to the manors of Bewley and Billingham, which are those covered by the one heading now readily legible.
The endorsement gives the date as '1306'. Whether more could be read when it was made or not, this date clearly does not apply to all the accounts on the roll: the Bewley and Billingham account here does not duplicate the details found in the two
Billingham accounts on Enrolled Manors 1305-6 that cover the period 3 October 1305 - 2 October 1306 nor does it take up the stock given as remaining on the later of those two accounts. Further evidence against a dating 1306 - 1307 for the Bewley and
Billingham account here is the entry in the Bewley expenses 'per preceptum domini Prioris': by early October 1306 Prior Hoton was on his way to pursue his case against Bishop Bek in the Curia where he died in January 1308.
No evidence has been found for a firm dating of the roll. An entry in the Capons section of the Bewley and Billingham account refers to expenses 'domini Willelmi de Gretham bursarii et terrarii' but it is doubtful whether this indicates office
held by William: no other reference has been found to him holding either of them, and a similarly phrased entry in the Geese section refers to expenses 'domini Prioris bursarii et terrarii'. William became a monk shortly before Thomas of Haswell,
Bursar 1297 - 1299, and last occurs in 1321, as Prior of Coldingham, an office that he held in 1305, and then again from 1313 onwards, see Liber Vitae f. 59v, Loc.XIII:3c, Loc.VII:6, Reg. II f. 13v.
The dating formula for the Pittington dairy account may offer a means of identifying possible dates within the period covered by William of Greatham's career: it refers to the period of the account, from Sunday before Dunstan - vigil of
Assumption, as 13 weeks 4 days. If this is taken to mean that the closing date, 14 August, fell on a Wednesday, possible years are 1297, 1303, 1308 and 1314. It is clear that the Bewley and Billingham account here is not for 1302-3: its details do
not duplicate those in the Bewley account 1302-3 on Enrolled Manors 1299-1303. Of the other possible years the earliest, 1297, seems preferable, since both the script and the forms are less developed than those found on subsequent enrolments of
manorial and stock accounts. Moreover, it is possible that the date '1306' added on the dorse c.1500 arose from reading '...xcvj' as '.cccvj'.

The Account is taken to be for Rainton by association with the two stock accounts that follow, supported by the fact that the Rainton Accounts for 1299-1300 and 1302-3, Enrolled Manors 1299-1303, mm 3 face and 1-2 dorse, have the same accountant,
named in full on the latter. The Account appears to cover one year only and the opening date is taken to be the same that of the second stock account that follow it does not take up the balance of the Rainton Account 1299-1300 closed on 25 September
1300.

presumably does not go beyond that date, but probably runs up to it, given that the accountants are the same. Accountant's fornname supplied from Wardley Accounts 1299-1300 and 1302-3, Enrolled Manors 1299-1303 mm 2 face and 5 dorse.

The place is identified from the reference to income 'de sandeldrauth in tyne del schelis' which also appears on the Westoe Account 1309-10, Enrolled Manors 1309-10 m 3 face. The approximate dates are taken from the liveries of wheat: these
extend from Sunday before Matthew '304 to Sunday after Michaelmas in the next year. How far these are the exact dates of the Account is doubtful since they entail an overlap with the Westoe Account 1304 m 5 face above.

Separate fragment of an Enrolled Manorial Account, section relating to Bearpark only
This Account takes up the balance of the Bearpark Account closed at Martinmas 1304, described as the last account of the preceding year, and of the Bearpark Account closed 3 October 1305, described simply as the last account, Enrolled Manors
1303-5 mm 4 face and 3 dorse. The closing date is calculated from the payment of wages to a carter for a whole year.
Previous cataloguing suggests that this may have previously been part of, or kept with, DCD-Enr. man. acs 1304-5. It has been conserved and rolled separately since late 20th century.

The place is established from a livery of wheat to Dalton: although a similar quantity of wheat was received on the Dalton Account 1309-10, m 2 face below, from Billingham, Belasis and Westoe, Westoe is eliminated by the fact that the Westoe
Account 1309-10 is found m 3 face below, and Belasis by the fact that this Account records oats received from the accountant there, leaving Billingham. The Account appears to be for a year, to Judge by payments to ploughmen and carters, and they
received liveries of wheat for the year from Sunday after Exaltation of Cross, 21 September, '9 to the same day, 20 September, '10, but confusion is created by the payment to the accountant from All Saints, 1 November, to Sunday after Michaelmas, 4
October. The later closing date would be more in accord with the other accounts on this roll.

[c.Michaelmas - c.Michaelmas], unless headed otherwise
Most of the accounts enrolled here do not have headings giving their dates. The roll for the following year, Enrolled Manors 1320-1, is similar, but has a heading at the top stating the
period of the accounts in general, with those that diverge individually dated below. Presumably this roll once had such a heading.
The approximate closing date of the undated accounts here is established from the fact that the stock remaining on the Dalton Account, m 4 below, is taken up in the Dalton Account opened at Michaelmas 1320, Enrolled Manors 1320-1 mm 2-3 face. The
opening date is calculated from numbers of liveries to ploughmen etc. that show that the unheeded accounts covered one year. The opening and closing dates remain imprecise because the evidence for the closing date given above diverges from the
evidence of liveries at Dalton, m 4 below, which indicate a year running from one Sunday after Michaelmas to the next. The original heading may still, however, have given the terminal dates as Michaelmas: there is an instance of precisely the same

There is every reason to assume that this Account follows on immediately from the Westoe Account 1319-20, mm 1-2 dorse above, although this is not easily demonstrated. Taking the year to be 1320, the precise dates are clear and any difficulty in

These dates are given in the heading to the roll and are taken to apply to all the accounts on the roll, except the one individually dated. How precisely the dates apply to each account is
open to some question since the liveries of wheat on the Billingham Account, m 3 face below, were clearly for the period from one Sunday after Michaelmas to the next, and also since the closing date of the only account separately dated was Sunday
after Michaelmas, m 2 dorse below.

The place seems to be indicated by the sowing of a Billingham bondland with oats, and this is supported by the name of the accountant who handed over at the beginning of this Account: John de Seham, for he was one accountant at Billingham 1323-4,
Enrolled Manors 1323-4 m 4 face. The fact of this Account being on this roll is taken to indicate the year. One livery of wheat covers the 24 weeks from Tiburtius & Valerianus, i.e. to Michaelmas. The period of the Account is given as 26 weeks 4
days, which counting back from Michaelmas, would start 2 March, although a date 7 days earlier does seem likely since several of the accounts on this were opened then following a general movement of accountants.

This Account includes a livery of peas to Belasis, and the corresponding entry in the Belasis Account, m 5 dorse, indicates the place and gives most of the accountant's name, the rest of which appears in the Bewley Account under oxen, m 3 dorse.
The loss of the wheat section makes it difficult to establish the approximate dates the Account. If it did not cover the latter of the year, there would normally be another account for that following; provender of oats appears for 26 weeke after All

Manor is not identified on account, but details are very similar to those for Bearpark this decade, especially as to servants. The appearance of Robert Middleham as Bursar of Durham gives approximate date. Opening date from number of oxen taken

Manor is not identified on account, but details are very similar to those for Bearpark this decade, especially as to servants. The period of account is suggested by liveries of wheat to servants. The year cannot be established. In favour of 1337
is reference to Elias as a past accountant: he accounted Michaelmas 1336 - c. 4 May 1337; also this account falls well into the gap between that account and that opening Michaelmas 1337; a damaged section seems to mention Sunday the V[igil] of
Michaelmas, which is consistent with 1337. Details and handwriting are compatible with 1337.

Manor is not identified on account, but details are very similar to those for Bearpark this decade, especially as to servants. The opening feast is mentioned on the account. Closing date is suggested by the feeding of oxen which runs up to Sunday
after Purification, while number fed matches number taken up on account opening that day 1338. Supporting this, reference is made to the day after Martinmas as Wednesday, which happened in 1337.

File, Seven fragmentary membranes, and one separate fragment now rejoined to m. 5.
No othe file of manorial accounts is extant in the Durham monastic archive, and although some manorial accounts have holes through which filing thongs probably passed, it remains uncertain what principle of filing was used - annual, by manor etc.
This file has accounts from different dates, two membranes, 4 and 5, identifiable as for Belasis, but it has not been established that all membranes refer to Belasis.

These pieces were removed from the collection of medieval financial fragments forming
Misc.Ch. 7073 in February 1986.
m.2: Final entry on the face refers to a swan sent to Muggleswick 'quando dominus prior f... per j talliam contra I de Bermeton'. It is most likely that John of Barmpton issued the tally as Prior's chaplain, which office he held approximately 30
April 1335 x 5 May 1336 (Bursar's accounts, 1335-6), the last time he is mentioned.
m. 4: Payments for mowing refer to Belasis meadow cf. m. 5. Liveries include one of oxen to robert of Middleham bursar (held office c. 11 November 1332-3 and c.
May 1336 - 12 May 1341). A livery of geese to William of Hexham cellarer eliminates the earlier period and reduces the later (held office 7 November 1333 - 29 August 1338 and 7 May - 3 July 1339). A livery of barley to [J]ohn de Edmundbyres serviens
of Bewley and one of a pig to John Tydde serviens of Billingham probably put this account before 5 October 1337; neither of them accounted for these manors in 1337-8 or 1339-40, but accounts for both manors are missing for 1338-9. The Billingham
account for 1336-7 does not include the livery of the pig. Period therefore seems to be that preceding, i.e. up to 6 October 1336, perhaps opening before Robert of Middleham's second term as bursar c. May 1336.
m. 5: Payments for hay-making
refer to Belasis meadow and Plovghsuayne; the latter belonged to the manor of Belasis (Enrolled Manors 1325-6 m. 4 dorse). Liveries include one of oxen to Robert of Middleham bursar (held office c. 11 November 1332-3 and c. May 1336 - 12 May 1341).
A livery of geese to Robert of Kelloe should probably be assigned to his first period as cellarer (took office between 3 July 1339 and 29 September 1340, his account 29 September 1340 - [17 March] 1341 is extant). Richard of Bickerton, who received
a livery of hens as [Prior's] chaplain, held that office from 1336 or 1337 to 1343 or 1344.
m. 6: Liveries of doves refer to Robert of Benton as bursar and Richard of Bickerton as [Prior's] chaplain; the former held office c. 12 May 1341 - 11
November 1345 or later, the latter was in office between 1336 or 1337 and 1343 or 1344.
m. 10: Evidently a fragment of a manorial account, but by the script rather earlier than the other membranes, so possibly out of place chronologically and
relating to another manor.

Surviving letters from heading could be feast of Matthew or Matthias. Account headed as for 31 weeks, so closing date can be deduced. If the feast were Matthew, then account would have closed in late April, which is not compatible with the
appearance of wages for the Pentecost term and of harvesting expenses. The feast of Matthias, given the leap year, brings 31 weeks exactly to Michaelmas.

Account mentions two bursar's: John of Berrington and William de Aslakby. The latter held office 15 December 1371 - 16 April 1373, and was both preceded and followed by John of Berrington, suggesting this account to be for 1371-2 or 1372-3, but
these are extant and do not match. As it does not match that extant for 1373-4, 1370-1 seems the only possibility. As William de Aslakby is mentioned in connection with the payment of the balance, the account could have been closed shortly before he
took office. Wages, cf. 1375-6 account, indicate a period covered by two half-yearly terms.

...liam Marche
Date taken from early fifteenth century endorsement, perhaps by John Fishburn, when account was probably undamaged since he was able to endorse 'Willi Marche'. Some doubt because stock remaining on account 1405-6 and that taken over on this do
not match. This account does match accounts which although the same are dated '1407-8' and '1408-9'. Several monastic officers are named on this account; other than Thomas Rome as Sacrist and Thomas Witton as Granator, are Roger Mainsforth and John
Ryton as former Bursars and Richard Haswell as the current Bursar. All these three wielded the Bursar's authority during the period of this account, and, if Richard Haswell's dates of office could be established this would date the account. Account
runs for one year.

Draft
The date '1407' is a correction; the draft (B) is headed 'from Michaelmas 1408'. Doubts raised are exacerbated by that surrounding the account 1406-7, whose stock carried over matches to this and so must immediately precede it.

From the names of pastures sold this is an account for Ketton. The first entry refers to a livery from Roger of Mainsforth, presumably then Bursar (found in office 1400 - 1407). This does not duplicate another account between these dates, leaving
1402-3 and 1403-4. Stock taken up here appears to match that remaining on account closed Michaelmas 1402. Period of account is not clear, but livery of wheat to accountant is for 26 weeks.

Liveries of wheat start a day after Michaelmas, almost certainly Sunday, and the last seem to end about Michaelmas. It is probable that this account opened on Sunday after Michaelmas, like others of the period e.g. Bewley. The account is clearly

From two liveries of wheat the account covers a period of 13 weeks, while provender of oats runs from Michaelmas to Circumcision. As this is a period of two days over 13 weeks, and since heading shows the account closed on the feast of the
Circumcision, it is likely that Sunday after Michaelmas was the opening date, as with other accounts of the period.

The payment of the chaplain's stipend for half rather than a full year gives an approximate indication of the period covered and points to the closing feast being Augustine of Canterbury in May, rather than his translation in September, or
Augustine of Hippo's feasts in August or October. This sits slightly uncomfortably with the final balance that covers all four accounts and refers to them being 'of four years'.

Late medieval endorsement of date reads '..44', the opening year, cf. 1338-9 Account, confirmed by payments of the vicar's pension for the Martinmas term '44 and Pentecost term '45. These terms are covered by the 1338-9 account, running Martinmas
to Martinmas. Total of sums delivered to Bursar matches the figure given on Bursar's account for Martinmas 1344 - Martinmas 1345 as delivered by Michael of Chilton. Accountant from late medieval endorsement, reading 'Chilton' and '.ich de' is
legible in the fragment of the heading. The total of sums entered on this account as delivered to the Bursar matches the livery from Michael of Chilton on Bursar's account 1344-5.

Dorse: Ellingham
For the said period
Account appears to cover about one year, following appointment of John Scot as proctor on 1 October 1366 (Reg. II, f.193v): tithes from fisheries are for Martinmas term 1366 and Pentecost term 1367, and payment of the pension to Farne for the St
Cuthbert in September 1367 term is included. There is probably a retrospective element in the receipt of revenues from Cornhill chapel Easter 1365 - Martinmas 1367, likewise in payment to the chaplain there for the same period which is added in a
different hand: this is probably because the former proctor referred to on this account, Richard of Sedgebrook, closed his account at Michaelmas 1364 (Bursar's account 1366-7).

Thomas of Hexham, proctor
Late medieval endorsement gives the date as '1400', and this is the opening date, cf. Norham account, 1404-5 etc., - 1401 in modern terms. This is confirmed by the arrears in the Exoneration after the balance which show that Thomas of Hexham was
responsible for the five previous years, with this account covering the sixth: he first appears in office on the Bursar's account for 1395-6, with John of Bywell in office on Busar's account 1394-5, and he left office after six years, to be followed
immediately by Richard of Eden with the account for 1402-3.

Richard of Eden, proctor
Richard of Eden was appointed proctor on 27 May 1402 (BL MS Cotton Faustina A.vi f. 106r). This is his first account: the Exonerations after the balance refer only to arrears of this account and of six years of Thomas of Hexham. Period covered is
not clear, but last word of heading appears to read 'T..cio', and there is nothing to suggest period was significantly less than a year.

Bursar is named as John Durham, who took office in 1419 and left it in 1427. This is not a duplicate of any other accounts dating from this period, and these cover every year except 1422-3. The fact that when the sums for the vicar's pension
(£20), the proctor's fee (26s 8d), and expenses for collecting tithes of lambs and wool (2s 4d) and for writing the account (2s) are deducted from the total receipt, the result is 6d higher than the first entry for receipts in Bursar's account
Pentecost 1422 - Pentecost 1423 is porbably because an allowance was made for this amount in respect of the Batehouse rent, as on Norham account 1423-4. The year covered is taken as running between the usual dates.

Right-hand side of account is gone, taking the figures that might have provided means for precise dating. The form of entries for mortuaries, undivided and without details, is that found after 1452, before which details were given, and up to
1485, when the entry is divided between live and non-live mortuaries and details are given again. This is not a duplicate of any surviving account, and so is not later than 1478. It is written by the same scribe as accounts between 1466 and 1477:
years with no extant account are 1463-1466, 1467-8, 1470-1, 1473-1476 and 1477-8.

(Detailed version)
The roll is now almost entirely illegible through effects of the reagent, and details can noly be obtained from the printed version, where account is assigned to [1328]- 1329, apparently as a result of misdating the charters mentioned to 26
December 1328 rather than 1327 (see SS12 vi, note and Misc.Ch. 633 and 634). Correct date is from matching tallied livery and totals to summary account.

DCD-Scot. acs Expenses, 1329 [1329]
Two versions
(A) -
(B) -
(A): sums expended on three visits to Earlston (March, Easter week, late July) exactly match those on (B), although general arrangement adn details differ.
(B): Expenses concern the churches that were the proctor in Scotland's responsibility:
several entries show him to have been Nicholas of Thockrington. Last section refers to the day after St Oswald as Sunday, which occured in 1301, 1307, 1312, 1318, 1329, 1335 and 1340. Nicholas' surviving proctorial accounts are between 1325 and
1332: he last appears November 1132 x November 1333 returning to Durham from Holy Island (Bursar's account 1332-3).
How the two rolls relate to account running 11 June 1329 - 27 May 1330 is unclear, as matches cannot be made.
