Summary

Account roll (compotus) of William of Kelsey, king's clerk of works at the palace of Westminster and Tower of London, for his receipts and expenses in building works, with a store account on m. 2d.

Physical description: A roll of nine membranes sewn end-to-end; in good condition and wholly legible.
