¹ Hearth Tax return, Lady Day, 1664:

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. Church assessments may well have been conventionally based on township allocations rather than rated equally across the parish; Hereford CRO, Diocesan Archives, Court Papers, I. and O.P., Box 485.
