This manuscript was transcribed by Elizabeth England, while preparing
her third year Undergraduate Thesis 'Snapshots from the Grave: William
Tyndall; Life as Shown through a Probate Inventory'. This was supervised
by Dr Evan
Jones.
Five metres long, this manuscript is the most detailed probate inventory
surviving from sixteenth century Bristol. While most of the original inventory
is legible, numerous later notes, presumably added by the executors, are
difficult to read. Where the transcription is uncertain, the word is underlined.
A glossary is added at the end.
