Sir Richard Paulet (c 1558–1614) was the grandnephew of William Paulet (1474/5?–1572), first marquess of Winchester and longtime lord treasurer under three Tudor monarchs. Richard Paulet inherited estates at Herriard, south of Basingstoke, and Freefolk, near Whitchurch. He served multiple times as sheriff of Hampshire and in parliament for Whitchurch. For further details see the section on Hampshire families in Historical Background.
The manuscript is Paulet's account of monies received for
and expended on Thomas Jervoise during the first three
years after Paulet purchased Jervoise's wardship. It also includes a
copy of the transfer of Jervoise's wardship from Sir George Wrottesley
to Paulet.
