Thrussington Glebe Terrier, 1601
The original is bound in a volume held at Lincolnshire Archives and consists of two pieces of paper, both sides used. Later glebe terries are at the Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland.
The document is in secretary script, quite tricky to read, and my transcription retains the original line breaks and spelling.
I have added the following:
- Some abbreviations are expanded using square brackets, for example 'p[er]fect'
- Any words lost due to edge damage are noted (lost)
- Page breaks from the original are indicated in round brackets
- Any uncertain words are included in round brackets with a ?, for example 'new (or mere?)'
- A number in round brackets is added after each description of land (to help me summarise the content and compare with other terriers)
- Notes in square brackets indicate corrections made at the time
- Words inserted at the time are marked so: '^ buttyng upon the church hadland v'
