Computus of Robert Shorton

Includes: The computus (account roll) for building the College and a later copy from 1638. The copy lists an inaccurate start date for the original roll. A copy of the computus in the Register of Inventories [SJAR/6/2/1] giving 31 January as the start date is almost contemporary with the original roll.

Also includes the account of Nicholas Metcalfe for money due to the estate of Lady Margaret.
