Will and Inventory and account of administration of John Byam, warrener, 1593

Byham, a warrener, must have died at a young age as he left his nets and ferrets to his father and made provision for the upbringing of his children. He asked to be buried in Worting. The account of administration kept by his executors until 1597 survives and indicates the large sums of money involved in administering his estate. Unfortunately this document is badly damaged and has many gaps. There is also some damage to the inventory.
