Counter-roll of John of Broughton, controller of the king's works at the palace of Westminster and the Tower of London, for his expenditure on building at St Stephen's chapel. Although undated, the roll can be dated by the agreement of the dates of payments with the calendar for 1334–35. It has been partly marked up as ‘approved’, within the accounting procedure.

Physical description: A roll of twelve membranes sewn end-to-end; torn at the top right-hand corner of m. 1, but with no loss of text; otherwise in good condition and wholly legible.

Scope of transcription: Transcribed in full.
