- Fol. 1. 'Charges and repara[cions] payd by Tho... frome the feast of the Annuntiacion of owr lady Anno Regni Henrici Octaui xxxvjto [March 25, 1545] vn[to] the Surrendre of Osney.'
- Fol. 3. at end: --'Summa of all the allowances before wrytten allowable for a yere & more ended at Mich. Anno xxxviijmo H. viiiui [1546], besides ... Expenses [i.e. on foll. 1-2] before the Surrender of Osney ...', the last clause being an addition. There are a long series of accounts 'payd for workmens wages at Osney & at Fryswithis.' The first item is 'In primis to popyng Jaye the Joyner for takyng downe the stalles & sydes of the quire & hye Aultar & other thynges in the church [of St. Frideswide] for hymself viij days--vs.'
These (slightly imperfect) wage accounts of the various changes made at Oseney abbey and st. Frideswide's between March 25, 1545, and Michaelmas, 1546, are of considerable value. They were perused by Anthony Wood in 1667: cf. no. 30776 (catal.).
