Scope and content
These are the accounts, with supporting documentation, of the Clerk of the King's Works, the Surveyors of Works and the constables of castles and other officials, and relate to building works and repairs to royal properties and parks.

Included in the accounts are significant groups of documents relating to Clarendon, Clipstone, Dover, Havering, Langley, Leeds, Nottingham, Odham and Rochester. There are a large number of accounts relating to the Tower of London, Westminster, Windsor, Woodstock, the Scottish Marches and Welsh castles.
