Bromfield Manor Receipt Book This book dates from 1541, when the former
Bromfield Priory (dissolved in 1538), was leased to Charles Foxe. The book even records a loan made to
Charles I in 1625. The receipt book’s binding is part of
a liturgical manuscript, dated to the late 13th century, and
possibly part of the Priory’s library. The picture shows the binding on the
left and the first page of the book on the right. Originally posted to the
RPS, this item has now found a good home with Shropshire Record Office. |
