page 158 note 2 17 Mar.–29 Sept. 1288. The receipts account for this period is now W.A.M. 24252 (above, II. 1); in fact it runs from 13 Mar. to 29 Sept. 1288.
page 158 note 3 A fragment of the current household day-account, covering the period 1–28 Sept. 1288, survives (W.A.M. 24494).

page 158 note 5 Less than half these expenses appear on the current household day-account, which now runs from 17 Oct. 1288 to 20 Mar. 1289 (W.A.M. 24495). The rest would have appeared on a classified expenses account, no longer extant (see above, p. 13).

page 161 note 3 The abbot seems to have been entitled to 10 marks a year from the convent instead of a hospice at Oakham (below, p. 231). As Oakham was, at this date, assigned to the pittancery, it may be assumed that Brother Henry de Waledene was pittancer in 1289–90. The fruits of the church of Uppingham were probably the revenues of the church accruing to the abbot of Westminster during the vacancy which ended with the institution of William de Bray on 24 Aug. 1289 (Rolls and Register of Bishop Oliver Sutton, 1280–1299, ed. R. M. T. Hill, ii (Lincoln Record Soc., xliii, 1950), p. 77Google Scholar). Wenlok appears to have employed the pittancer, who was warden of the nearby manor of Oakham, to collect them.
