Dean and Chapter of Rochester

Finance records: treasurer

Bills and vouchers 1552-1867 (DRc/FTv 1-231)

Many of the early bills, that is those before 1800, are numbered individually as if for sorting into series of their own at some future date. As a general rule, all the early bills bear a reference to the page number in the appropriate Treasurer's book. This ceases in 1800.

As the financial year ended on 25 November, difficulties arise in sorting the loose bills. All bills receipted between 25 November and 1 January have been sorted as if they had been presented at the following November audit.

New-style dating has been used throughout where it was evident that this was meant; different Treasurers, however, used different methods and therefore where no alternative date of receipt is given for dates between 1 January and 25 March, and no other internal evidence suggested otherwise, the year given was assumed to be the correct one.

The bundles contain bills for repairs and work carried out in the cathedral, and to the various properties belonging to the church; bills for candles and communion bread and wine; receipts for rents, land tax, and water rate; bills for books; bills for the school. In some cases, and particularly after 1800, the timber account is included with the other bills, but for some reason, many of them were bundled up together separately from the other bills.

Treasurer's vouchers, mainly for repairing the cathedral and school fabric, road repairs, almsmen's [cf. bedesmen/beadsmen's] salaries and clergy pensions.

Includes receipt for three years' rent for parsonage of St. Giles in the Isle of Thanet (DRc/FTv 8/1).
