Record title: Terrier of Town Lands
Repository: Southampton City Archives
Shelfmark: SC4/1/1
Repository location: Southampton
This manuscript records the rentals of lands owned by the
town, but also all the other annual recurring receipts and expenses
usually found in the stewards' accounts. This terrier is likely to have
been drawn up as part of Thomas Overay's reforms of the town's
accounting procedures. Such terriers were supposed to be created
annually but few have survived and this one was likely written on vellum
to be a model. See Thick (ed), Southampton Steward's
Book, pp xvii–xix. Thick's book includes a complete
transcription of the terrier.
