Description:

Lay Cartulary of Robert Hulle, of Spaxton, Somerset. described as "Registrum Munimentorum Rob. Hulle". This volume has its original boards and leather binding. After a later index inserted on a fly-leaf, appears the following exordium: "Memorandum that in this register, volume or cartulary is contained the principal muniments or evidences, by their copies and remembrances of divers manors, lands, tenements, advowsons of churches and knight's fees and other services of Robert Hull and Isabella, his wife, in divers counties, as well as many muniments and evidences of Court Rolls and Accounts which are in their Treasury ." The cartulary opens with an account of the devolution of the manor of Spaxton. The cartulary contains additional entries, 2-6 Henry V, some of which are written in the original hand. The volume was probably written in 1415 or shortly after, and was certainly compiled by and, perhaps, written by Robert Hulle. 176 folios
