The hordarian was responsible for the 'hoard,' mainly the perishables such as bread, beer, meat, and fish used in the refectory. The accounts include receipts from rents of several manors and payments for the purchase of food stuffs and other material used by the priory.
This manuscript was formerly housed at Winchester
Cathedral Library, shelfmark W53/13/1. The account runs from Michaelmas
to Michaelmas.
1326–37; Latin; parchment; 7 mbs, attached at the top (originally separate documents, attached when repaired); 208–310mm x 460–832mm; some written both sides, others 1 side only; some damaged edges and a good deal of fading near the edges. The membranes have been attached so that the oldest accounts come after the newer, except that the most recent account, for 1336–7, is on mb [2], with the account for 1335–6 on mb [1].
