Record title: City Account Roll

The city account rolls record all of the city's income and
expenditures. Income comes primarily from annual rents and rates, as
well as special levies. Expenditures include the whole range of civic
responsibilities, including construction and maintenance of civic
structures, annual payments to civic officials, and rewards given to
local nobility and gentry (and to their performers). The account rolls
up to 1420 incorporate the accounts of several officials (including the
mayor, bagmen, aldermen, and clerk of the market), as the chamberlains
had not yet been recognized as responsible for all civic finances. The
accounting period runs from Michaelmas to Michaelmas.
1406–7; Latin; parchment; 3 membranes attached serially; 205–655mm x 260mm; unnumbered; written on one side only; paper wrapper with date 17 October 1884 inscribed with the date of MS as 1406–7, and the names of the mayor, chamberlains, and members of parliament in that year.
