Accounts

The bursars' accounts were kept annually by the two
bursars, one of whom was elected each year and served as the junior
bursar, becoming senior bursar the following year. Their accounts
included all the college finances, beginning with receipts from the
rents of manors and estates owned by the college. Expenses are divided
into sections: chapel, hall, kitchen, pantry, stable, and garden;
stipends to chaplains, scholars, and others; and external expenses and
gifts (the last two the sections where payments to entertainers were
normally entered). The rolls have paper wrappers, some of which contain
notes made by later bursars. The account year varies considerably but
most often runs roughly from Michaelmas to Michaelmas.
