| Description | These inventories contain a miscellaneous series of lists of items: books, plate, vestments, furniture, furnishings, household goods, farm implements and animals. Some are inventories of personal property, others of a building's contents. Most significant is a series of inventories of the cathedral's goods drawn up initially at the dissolution and then on an archbishop's visitation, being established by the eighteenth century as possibly the annual responsibility of the sacrist. There are also inventories of monks' possessions, of the contents of Canterbury College, Oxford, of farmers of the priory's estates and some which came to the priory in the course of its sede vacante jurisdiction. |
