Item Y/COU/1/1/3 - Minute book, 1483-1494

1 volume

Minute and memoranda book, principally covering the period September 1483 to February 1489, but also some entries for 1491, 1492, 1493, and 1494, as well as some undated entries. Entries are broadly, but not strictly, in chronological order. The volume has been conserved, and it is not clear whether the pages have retained their original order. The current foliation was added in the early 20th century, however at least one other foliation notation is present on the pages. Some pages may be missing.

Dates in this catalogue have been given in the new style. Many of the original entries use regnal dating to record the year.

This volume was labelled by William Giles in his catalogue of 1908 as 'Not strictly a House Book', indicating that this may not have been part of the original series of minute books. However, further information about this division of difference has not survived.

This volume matches that described by Darcy Preston (later Town Clerk from 1719) in 1699 as Liber 5.
