Goods lacking in the kitchen departments of Lady Margaret's household. This is a compilation of stock held by various officers and staff which is missing. There are separate entries throughout the only surviving roll of the Treasurer of the Household (1506-1507) which refer to such items, but there is no general list such as this one for that year.
