The unique manorial and household accounts of William Worsley, Dean
of St Paul's Cathedral. William Worsley, Dean of London's St.
Paul's Cathedral from 1479 to his death in 1499, is unique among
late medieval cathedral deans in having left a substantial run of
manorial and household accounts dating from the time of his
deanery. These documents, edited in this volume in a modern English
translation, shed light not only on the dean's estate
administration, but also on the daily life of Worsley and his
household. Worsley's time as dean of St. Paul'scoincided with some
of the important political upheavals of the final phase of the Wars
of the Roses, and political events such as Edward IV's Scottish
wars of 1480-83, and the conspiracy against Henry VII in the name
of the Flemish pretender Perkin Warbeck, find their reflection in
the accounts. The volume includes a map, genealogy of the Worsley
family, six black and white plates, and a comprehensive index, as
well as a full biographical appendix of individuals mentioned in
the accounts.
