  • A Newly-Discovered Fragment of a Daily Account Book
    5 I A NEWLY DISCOVERED FRAGMENT OF A DAILY ACCOUNT BOOK FOR FRAMLINGHAM CASTLE, SUFFOLK byWENDY SMEDLEY Or THE MANY thousands of medieval daily accounts of expenditure generated by the household of Framlingham Castle, not one was believed to have survived. From evidence in an extant annual account book for Frarnlingham Castle (Ridgard 1985,120) it is known that these daily accounts were summarised and entered into paper books from which they were annually abridged. This Latin fragment offered in translation here, a single folio from one such paper book, was discovered in a bundle of documents at Essex County Record Office catalogued (in 1943 ) as 'Out —County Deeds, c. 1400-1834'; the bundle is among the manorial documents of the Come Priory Estate, Earls Colne, Essex.' The folio is described as 'a leaf of a household account, c.1400,of the priory of Framlingham Suffolk' and of having been 'originally used as a cover'.' No priory has ever been recorded in Framlingham. Because the manuscript appears to be the only extant fragment of a medieval daily account of expenditure for the household of the Castleof Framlingham an attempt to trace its provenance is necessary. The bundle of CoInc Priory 'Out —County Deeds', all relating to Suffolk, was put together to prove the claim of Sir John Griffin Griffin to the Barony of Howard de Walden, Essex . The claim arose in consequence of the death of Henry Howard, tenth earl of Suffolk, in 1745, when family settlements were producing complications. The first Baron Howard de Walden and first earl of Suffolk was Thomas lord, Howard (1561-1626), builder of Audley End House, Saffron Walden, Essex (Addison 1953, 2:24) and son of Thomas Howard, fourth duke of Norfolk (1536-1572).
