| Description | Cheam manor lies on the northern slopes of the Surrey Downs. It was accounted for by a reeve to 1324, and thence by a serjeant. Accounts 24, 25, and 27, for early Edward II, title the manor as West Cheam, rather than just Cheam. The 1258 roll lists recipts and expenses on the recto, with a corn account on the dorse. The next roll also contains a livestock account. There is some flexibility in layout until c1284 with the corn account sometimes at the foot of the expenses, before it becomes established on the dorse, followed by the stock, with that now followed by an 'opera' account. |
