An Account Book of Thomas Stonor

VI. ADDENDA TO MISCELLANEOUS
STONOR MSS.

     Since the Calendar on pp. 165-70 was compiled three more documents have
come to light. One of them is of slight interest, viz. “An Account of pay-
ments to John Bray at Stonor and elsewhere” (Ch. Misc., 37, iv, 59). The
other two are dealt with below.

AN ACCOUNT BOOK OF THOMAS STONOR

1422-1431

     The Accounts are written in a book covered in black leather, and contain-
ing 47 leaves of paper, though only 30 pages are written on. It may very
probably be the “black boke” referred to in Note 3 on vol. i, p. 164; for
this book would as a record of manorial payments be of value to the owner
of Stonor. Most of the entries are receipts from various manors and estates
between 1422 and 1431, viz.: Dodecote, Bensheves, Penynton, Watlyngton,
Clayor, Sottewell, Bourton, Harnhull, Hembury, Condycote, Burton, Hope-
lond and Horton. Many payments were made to the Lady of Stonor, chiefly
in 1424. Richard Calday seems to have been a General Collector; he paid
arrears amounting to 16l. 13s. 4d. to the lady of Stonor “durante vita
domini” before Christmas 1430, and of 4l. on Passion Sunday (18th March)
1431 after the lord’s death. John Wythik was farmer at Penton Mewsey in
1423-27 and William Withik afterwards (cf. vol. i, p. 33 above). Two
entries of more interest are given in full. Philip Englefield was sheriff of
Oxford and Berks. in 1430. There is no other reference to the Stonor
Papers to the second Thomas Stonor’s lawsuit in 1472 with Wyndesore.
From Ch. Misc., 37, xvii.
