Cornwall
is
well
represented
in
this
catalogue,
due
to
some
extent
to
the
existence
of
the
Duchy,
The
two
most
important
items
in
the
list
have
already
been
published,
namely
the
1337
Caption
of
Selsin
and
the
1650
Parliamentary
Survey
both
dealing
with
all
the
Duchy
manors
in
Cornwall,
This
present
work
is
an
attempt
to
complement
these
by
giving
many
of
the
remaining
items
in
the
List
and
Index
catalogue,
including,
it
is
hoped,
all
the
most
important
ones.

CORNWALL SUBSIDIES IN THE REIGN OF
HENRY VIII
1524 and 1543 and The Benevolence of 1545
Edited by T. L. Stoate
(Ref: 005)
For
hundreds
of
years
the
King,
Queen
or
Government
has
needed
to
raise
money
for
various
enterprises,
usually
wars.
In
the
distant
past,
as
today,
it
was
the
people
of
the
country
that
had
to
find
this
money
usually
in
the
form
of
taxes,
subsidies
etc.
Whilst
these
taxes
were
not
welcomed
by
the
people,
they
are
a
valuable
asset
for
the
historian
today,
as
lists
were
usually kept of those who paid.
This
CD
has
the
lists
for
Cornwall
for
the
years
of
1524,
1543
and
1545

of

CORNWALL HEARTH AND POLL TAXES
1660 - 1664
by T. L. Stoate
(Ref: 002)
The
Reign
of
Charles
II
was
exceptionally
rich
in
the
number
and
variety
of
taxes
directly
assessed
on
individuals.
Of
all
these
taxes
only
the
hearth
tax
and
earlier
monthly
assessments
were
the
names
of
the
taxpayers
specifically
required
to
be
returned
to
the
Exchequer.
This
CD
is
a
transcript
of
some
of
the
surviving
returns
for
Cornwall
which
were
first
published by T. L. Stoate.
