Summary

Hugh Pudsey, A.D. 1183, taken from a register of the dean and chapter, 1737. There is another book in the bp.'s auditor's office called also Bolden Book, as being also a state of the bishoprick as it stood improved under bp. Thom. Hatfeild. It is the Bolden book with additions, and the alterations in that estate since bp. Pudsey's time. It belongs to my private library. I paid for the copy from Dr. Hunter."
