A List of the Cambridgeshire
Subsidy Rolls
Held in the Public Record Office,
1250-1695
Introduction
This list details the early Cambridgeshire Subsidy [taxation] Rolls available for consultation in the Public Records Office (PRO} building at Kew, London. It was compiled at the start of the twentieth century by the historian William Mortlock Palmer from notes already available at the PRO and from his own observations.
I have found this list to be very useful during my own PRO visits although the reference numbers and the description does sometimes vary from that given by Palmer. I have corrected these where necessary. Palmer himself transcribed some of these rolls in various articles written for The East Anglian and others people have also done the same. You will find references to appendices listed in the text but these are a mystery to me as the book from which this text came does not contain transcripts that correspond to these appendices.
I am currently trying to gather together as many of the names from these rolls as possible, both from published works and from any other sources with the aim of publishing them on this web site. I would be grateful to hear from anybody who can help in this respect. Please notify me of any errors, problems or queries.
