The city account rolls record all of the city's income and expenditures.
Income comes primarily from annual rents and rates, as well as special
levies. Expenditures include the whole range of civic responsibilities,
including construction and maintenance of civic structures, annual
payments to civic officials, and rewards given to local nobility and
gentry (and to their performers). The account rolls up to 1420
incorporate the accounts of several officials (including the mayor,
bagmen, aldermen, and clerk of the market), as the chamberlains had not
yet been recognized as responsible for all civic finances. The
accounting period runs from Michaelmas to Michaelmas.
