Swaffham Prior Taxation Records

1541 to 1674

 

 

Introduction

This page covers the early taxation records for Swaffham Prior although, regrettably, I have as yet not managed to actually transcribe or locate transcriptions of very many of these. Worse still, I have viewed a number of the records but foolishly only transcribed from them those names that were of direct interest at the time. As time allows I will revisit these records and transcribe them fully.
