Catalogue description Office of the Auditors of Land Revenue and successors: Rentals and Related Documents

This series mainly consists of rentals and related documents of crown lands in England and Wales produced for the Auditors of Land Revenue, or the receivers general and ministers responsible to them.

There are similar documents relating to the crown lands held in jointure in the seventeenth century by the queens consort: Anne of Denmark, Henrietta Maria and Catherine of Braganza.
