Publisher's Synopsis

Survey made 1377-1380 by Bishop Hatfield (1345-1382). Much more extensive than Boldon Buke. Contains full list of all tenants, with quantity of land they held and enumeration of services belonging to each manor. 'Singularly curious as a repertory of names during the fourteenth century.' Appendices include bailiff's roll of manor of Auckland 1337-8, bailiff's rolls for various episcopal manors, 1349-50, and a general receiver's roll for 1385-6.
