Description (What the record is about)

County or diocese: Coventry and Lichfield.
Grant: Clerical tenth on unassessed benefices, Canterbury province, 1444 Oct 24.
Document type: Account.
Folios or pages: 1.
This is a fragment of the account of the abbot and convent of ?Haughmond, apparently collectors of the first instalment of the clerical tenth on unassessed benefices granted to Henry VI in 1444, for the archdeaconry of Salop in the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield.
The document has suffered extensive damage and only the upper portion survives and even that has parts missing.
Some of the surviving text has almost been obliterated, but most of the details necessary for identification of the document are present.
The collection must be the first, since an account for the second is now at E 179/16/339.
The name of the religious house concerned has been lost, but may be discovered from the appointment of collectors now at E 179/16/333.
Still present are the names of auditors and signs that the document was enrolled, including an endorsement of enrolment.
The document is undated, but refers to a certificate of the bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, presumably the appointment of the collectors, dated ?20 April 1445, and so must have been created at some point after that date.
It also bears a note relating to Trinity term 1445 and so may have been created during that term, in the summer of 1445, or afterwards.
