Enrolled summary of the account rendered at the Exchequer by Walter of Weston, the king's clerk of works at the palace of Westminster and the Tower of London, for his receipts and expenses in that office yearly over the period.

Physical description: One rotulet of two membranes, written on both sides, in a large roll of accounts, sewn together at the top; in good condition and wholly legible.

Scope of transcription: Of the receipts, only total amounts from each year of the account have been extracted, while the expenses of building works at the Tower of London and elsewhere in the palace of Westminster have been omitted, with one or two exceptions. Entries concerning the new St Stephen's chapel and the chapel of St Stephen by the Receipt have been transcribed in full, as well as references occasionally to a new chapel in the privy palace, and to unspecified chapels. The store account appears in collation elsewhere (see no. 23).
