Summary

Records formal decisions of the Abbey's governing authority, many involving grants of office and leases of the Abbey's large and widely-scattered estate, principally in the midlands, the south-east, and Westminster. This book brings out the value of the documents in placing the Abbey in the church's tumultuous history under James I and Charles I.
