The annual expenditure accounts recorded in this Register provide a
marvellously complete picture of a Cluniac monastery during its
last 60 years. A medium-sized house containing about 15 monks,
Thetford Priory was well-endowed and under the patronage of the
Howard Dukes of Norfolk, but the Register was probably compiled to
help regulate expenditure at a time of financial strain. The
accounts provide important evidence for many aspects of monastic
and outside life, including liturgy, obits and corrodies, the
provisioning of the household, farming, taxation, legal disputes,
and entertainments. Part 1 contains an introduction, glossary, and
accounts for the years 1482-1517. The accounts up to 1540, in which
can be traced the priory's strenuous attempts to survive, will be
published in Part 2, which will also include biographical and other
appendices and full indexes. Together these volumes will provide an
invaluable resource for historians of Norfolk and of monastic life
in the run up to the Reformation.
