^{page 120 note 2} Many thanks are due to all those who have helped, either by taking part in the surveying, or by lending plans, drawings, and photographs: in particular, to Mr. P. S. Spokes, F.S.A., Mr. J. N. L. Myres, F.S.A., Mr. E. T. Long, F.S.A., to the members of the Oxford University Archaeological Society, to Oxoniensia, to the Bodleian Library, to the National Buildings Record, to Mr. T. Rayson, F.S.A., Mr. Hubert Worthington, Miss Margaret Duffell, Mr. F. Russell Cox, Mr. H. Towner, Mr. S. H. H. Minn, and the Bursar of St. John's College, Oxford; and to the occupants of the houses concerned.

^{page 120 note 3} The London Survey has already nobly led the way, but on a rather more elaborate scale than one can hope to follow elsewhere. The Inventories of the Historical Monuments Commission are necessarily on a smaller scale, since they cover much larger areas. Perhaps the ideal scale for the purpose I have in mind can be seen in a foreign example: there have already appeared some thirty superb volumes of surveys of the old town houses of Switzerland, taken canton by canton, with numerous plans and photographs:—Das Bürgerhaus in der Schweiz, published by the Schweiz. Ingenieur-und Architectenverein (Orell Fussli Verlag, Zürich).

^{page 123 note 5} Dr. H. E. Salter tells me that the Oxford properties which in Domesday belonged to bishops and nobles, by the year 1279 (Hundred Rolls) had been sold; in some cases they still paid a few pence quitrent, but the barons and bishops had no ownership. No abbots had a town house in Oxford.
