November

Wednesday 13th

To Tewin to take my rent off Sheath, one year’s due Michaelmas last; off North ditto; off Day ditto; off Ward in part; off Canfield none as (he) not there. Gave a leg of mutton boiled, spent on them: 9s

Saturday 30th

Mr Dyson of Bushey, the new surveyor of windows…was with me this morning and one Mr Barnard with him. We went to Mr Bourchier’s, and Green Hall (Captain Tonyn’s) and Mr Vaux’s Place Farm and West End Farm and laid a surcharge on them all…nowhere else. They breakfasted with me and dined also about 1 o’clock….I went to Market after and spent nothing.
