Lay Subsidy,

Stottesdon Hundred, 1661

Introduction.

This levy of 1661, shortly after Charles II had been restored to the throne, was a 'free and voluntary' present. Only a small proportion of the inhabitants in the Stottesdon area subscribed, but the list of names is useful, especially when the abode of the donor is given. It is a much shorter list than appears in the Hearth Tax of the following year. The manuscript of the levy is in the Public Record Office, and it is from the original that this transcription is made.
