1. Most of the parish charges bear the same or similar ratios to each other as do those of 1677. The inserted figures have largely been derived by using the 1677 proportions. Others do not permit this kind of interpolation. The Bishops Frome charge seems to have been deliberately understated; were it not so, the total charge for Egleton, Bishops Frome and Haymonds Frome would bear exactly the same relation to the total as does the charge for the whole parish in 1677. There is, however, no agreement in the charges on the various parts of Ledbury parish. The charge for ‘Ledbury Forren’ is puzzling because the Foreign is already wholly covered by the charges on Wallhills etc., Wellington, Muchell and Leadon and Haffield. As the other hundred charges under the 1661 and 1672 quotas and in this document show very similar proportions to the county charge, there must be a presumption that the Radlow charge should be about 12·7% of the county (without Hereford) charge. This requires the deduction of the ‘Ledbury Forren’ charge of £363, leaving the final hundred total of £1,732 13s 4d.

24. The valuation may be compared with the distribution of the charges for various rated taxes between 1636 and 1673. The charges for these were upon occupiers rather than owners as such. A comparison shows that the ownership of land was considerably more concentrated than was the occupation of land and that there was apparently a large number of small tenanted holdings.

The statement in Robinson (p. 226), that the Morecott estate had been held by John Stead by right of his wife a member of the Vaughan family, is incorrect; the Steads had been at Morecott in the 1570s.

32. Son of Dr William Sherborne; will proved 1695 (PCC).

An analysis of a survey of the parish made in 1813 (Morgan, P., ‘An early 19th century survey of Madley’, TWC, xxxiii (1950), p. 118Google Scholar), although based on acreage rather than value, suggests, when compared with this assessment, that between 1663 and 1813 there was a considerable increase in the interest of absentee landowners and a substantial diminution in the total and mean size of the interests of all classes of landowner and occupier except the largest.

The royal aid charges eventually levied each quarter on each parish in this hundred were: Atforton, £10 6s 4d; Aston, £2 [10s] 7d; Aymestrey, £6 5s 7d; Buckton &c, £7 17s 4d; Brampton Bryan, £8 5s 7d; Burrington, £8 4s 1d; Combe &c, £12 12s 2d; Downton, £3 2s 10d; Elton, £6 6s; Kinton, £4 10s 10d; Knill &c, £8 19s [9d]; Leinthall Earls, £6 12s 1d; Leinthall Starkes, £10 2s 4d; Leintwardine, £8 4s 10d; Letton &c, £7 0s 7d; Lingen &c, £10 14s 10d; Litton &c, £7 [1s]; Marlow &c, £3 8s 10d; Mowley &c, £1212s 2d; Nether Lye, £3 13s lid; Rodd £12 12s 2d; Stapleton, £9 10s 2d; Pedwardine &c, £7 14s 10d; Titley, £12 12s 2d; Kinsham, £9 10s 2d; Walford, £6 3s 10d; Witton &c, £5 2s 1d; Wigmore, £8 8s; Willey, £9 10s 2d; Yetton, £6 13s 9d; Loan 29/49, pf. 4, no, 69/14. These charges suggest that the figures in the right-hand column of the hundred schedule in Harl. 6766 for Buckton, Letton and Litton are incorrect. Connop was normally taxed with Shobdon in Stretford hundred. While the parish charges as proportions of the hundred charge were mostly the same for the royal aid as for the 1677 assessment, the proportions in Harl. 6766 are not quite the same. A partial explanation of this is the omission of a charge on Marlow, which, if it were the same as the final royal aid charge, would produce a greater similarity. The adjusted hundred total would therefore be about £970.

Even if the last two townships are assumed to be included in the Leintwardine militia return, this church lewn was distributed differently from the militia valuations.

The 1678 assessment (E. 179/237/46) for which the half year's charge under the ‘half quota was £24 16s 11d, the same as the 1677 charge, suggests that the town's proportionate quota within the hundred was unchanged after 1664.

1. The charge on Much Dewchurch bears the same proportion to the hundred charge (assuming a £120 charge on Llangarren) as the charge in the 1677 assessment. It does not seem possible that the valuation has been miscopied. A deliberate doubling of the charge apparently due must therefore be assumed. The other charges are equal to or close to the proportions in the 1677 tax.
