Deans and chapters were abolished by the Commonwealth government on 30 April 1649 and their estates surveyed in the subsequent months with a view to sale. This survey of the Rochester capitular estates is extremely detailed. It gives particulars of all the manors and, parsonages in the possession of the Dean and Chapter as well as all other smaller properties; quitrents due, the courts baron, the capital messuages, lands and wood and marshland with their total acreages, abuttals, values and rents; details of existing leases, the time unexpired, names of lessees, covenants, freeholders and patronage; and, in the case of every single tenement, details of the rooms in each one. Most of the survey was made between July 1649 and January 1649/1650, though there are one or two later additions. It was written on paper and filed in five separate parts for convenience of handling. There does not appear to be any particular reason why one survey is in part one and another in part two. The survey of Moat Hall, Bearsted, the tile oast and the entry relating to the almsmen as well as several others appear in parts one and two. The fourth part is for the London properties only and the fifth for Darenth. All five parts are briefly indexed below by parish (in Kent unless otherwise stated), with a few subject and name headings: Almsmen' patents (November 1649), part 1 f.261, part 2 f.189 Ambrey alias
