References

1 A reference in Reg. J. Fordham of Ely, fo. 148f, suggests that in 1406 Ely possessed registers of Balsham (1257–86) and Ketton (1310–16).

2 Dr Smith does not treat ordination-lists as ‘staple diet’, and may be justified by the number of registers which lack them; but it seems to me probable that they were recorded in registers or rolls regarded as part of the register, which were only jettisoned when all the ordinees could be presumed dead by a later generation of bishop's clerks.
