Summary

Inventory or list of goods of a manor house arranged by room, including the hall, a study, chambers with linens, a garrett, milkhouse, kitchen, buttery, and stable, with values given for each item and a total at the end. At the bottom of the roll is an inscription in another hand in Latin, dated 8 February 1593 (year given in document as 1592 since the new year then began March 1), concerning the probate of John Fox's will and mentioning his wife Mary. The third membrane is detached and must have been the outside of the roll, as it has written in another hand at the end of the verso, An inventory of all ye goods, chattles, and debts of John Ffoxs of Chacombe.
