The table below lists the grants of pontage made by the kings of England up to the beginning of 1400. It is intended to supplement the arguments made in Chapter 4; in particular, Columns 5, 6 and 7 illustrate some of the reasons for granting the tolls.

The breakdown of the columns is as follows:

• 1. Location of the bridge in question.

• 2. Year of grant.

• 3. Volume and page of the Calendar of Patent Rolls (divided by kings): see Bibliography for full references.

• 4. Duration of the grant in years.

• 5. Was the grant given explicitly because of the request or ‘information’ of someone? – usually a royal clerk, a member of the royal family or a prelate. If so, the column is checked.

• 6. Was a fee paid for the grant? If so, the column is checked.

• 7. Are the bridges on routes marked on or implied by the Gough Map? If so, the column is checked.

Additional details included in the grants that are pertinent to the arguments in Chapter 4 are included in the footnotes.
