Summary
Extracts from Latin feodaries and computi relating to certain rents (of the duchy of Lancaster ?) in Sussex, especially about Pevensey, in Kent and in Surrey, preceded (fol. 3) by 'An instruccion for a Feodary howe to ordre hym in kepyng of a Feodary's court ... made by Walwyn auditor of the duchie of Lancaster ...' (22 March, 1528). This extends to fol. 23, but the whole volume has been used for a common-place book by Thomas Brampton, the owner of the manors of Chanticler at Attleborough in Norfolk and of Kenton in Suffolk, who has copied in moral and religious poems of his own composition, as well as documents relating to his manors, and some letters, proverbs, medical receipts and the like, in about 1580-90.
Among these are:
A letter to the clergy of the archdeaconry of Norwich from their bp., Edmund Scamier, 12 Sept. 1585, asking for pecuniary help (fol. 1), with a reply in verse from Robert Lawson, rector of Little Fransham, 'in steade or by the waye of a benevolence' (fol. 2)
A list of the weekly charges paid by each prisoner in the Tower of London on the accession of qu. Mary, 1553 (fol. 33)
Papers about the arraignment of the duke of Norfolk, 1572 (fols. 34, 51v, 53v)
A draft of a defence of T.S., vicar of Kenton, by his parishioners, 1578 (fol. 38v)
At fol. 56v are some documents relating to the manor of Bridgham
At fol. 59v the expenses of additions to the manor house there, 1569: these appear to be written by William Brampton, brother of Thomas
