The Templars in Northumberland: summary of account transcribed by Dr Myra Bom and translated by Helen Nicholson

[Introduction: these accounts show the Templars receiving rents from Temple Thornton and the surrounding area, Healey, Corbridge and Threepwood, Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding area, and village on the Anglo-Scottish border. Some rents were paid in kind, such as payment in chickens at Christmas and eggs at Easter. They received income from commutation of labour services and payment for the right to brew beer and the right to collect peat or turf. A major source of income was the sale of wool and fleeces, but they also received income from the sale of grain.]
