Full Description
{1}Holdings of Christ Church, Oxford. The survey of the former priory property made in 1526 recorded 15 cottages. Nine of these were set together in a row in the ‘priory end’ of the town, with the end cottage lying next to the cross in the street and St Augustine’s well. Each cottage had a garden place and all but one were rented at five shillings a year. An annual rent of ten shillings was received for the middle cottage, which was described as ‘substantially buylded and covered with tyle’. Most of the other cottages needed thatching, tiling and other repairs and were said to be ruinous.
