| Description | Extracts from the memoranda of the Exchequer for 3, 8 and 9EdwII [1309-1316]. The longest extract relates to Canterbury Cathedral Priory's payment of the tenth in Exeter diocese. The priory paid the tenth on a rent of 100s at Doccombe in Moreton Hampstead parish and had no other possessions in the diocese but was assessed on goods worth £6 and required to pay 12s. The king ordered the bishop of Exeter to hold an inquiry into the priory's possessions in his diocese and this established that the priory had nothing there except the rent in Doccombe. The priory and the dean and chapter of Exeter, who had collected the tenth, were therefore discharged of the payment of 12s. Another note states that the priory should not have to pay the tenth in Exeter diocese because the 10s it owed there was already included in the amount it paid in Canterbury diocese. Other notes relate to the tenth in Rochester diocese, the archdeaconries of Norwich and Norfolk and the archdeaconry of Suffolk and the fifteenth in the dioceses of London, Winchester, Chicheter, Exeter, Lincoln and Norwich. No date. [Date: handwriting and date of latest extract.]
