Description (What the record is about)
-
This series contains records of the arrears of tenths due to the Crown annually from ecclesiastical benefices, in line with the valuation recorded in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535.
By an Act of 1717, responsibility for the collection of tenths was removed from the diocesan authorities and placed in the hands of a receiver of tenths who accounted to the receiver of first fruits.
The records appear to have been created in the office of the receiver of first fruits.
