SC 11/220 Cheltenham rent-roll – probably 14th cent

SC 11/220 Cheltenham rent-roll – 14th cent?

TNA catalogue suggests “1422x1471” but judging by the name forms (quite a few de’s), this piece appears to be at the very start of the range, and perhaps earlier – some less familiar surnames have been resolved by comparing with occurrences in 1327 Lay Subsidy Roll. Some occupation/locative names, especially in Cheltenham tithing, are given in Latin (eg Cissor, assumed to stand for Taylor, Faber for Smith, and perhaps clericus for Clerke; de la Venele for Lane).
