The Parliamentary Survey of the Duchy of Cornwall, Part I
(Austell Prior–Saltash)
Ed. Norman JG PoundsPostscript summary
In the year of Charles I’s execution, the Commonwealth was in financial difficulties; the survey and sale of bishops’ estates raised insufficient funds and the government resorted to the sale of crown lands. In this first volume of his edition of the 1649–50 Parliamentary Survey, Norman Pounds explains the background to the survey and how it was conducted before his full transcription of the text.
