Flintshire notes,

  • NLW MS 23891A.
  • File
  • 1642.

Notebook containing financial accounts (ff. 1, 104 verso), a list of personal names (f. 2 recto-verso), and notes of legal cases in 1642 (ff. 3-4, 12-17 verso), all relating to Flintshire.
Also included are notes of a 'voluntary Contribution towards the maintaynance of his majesties person' from [the parishes of] Whitford and Holywell (f. 75 verso), a note on shipping troops from Chester to Ireland in the time of Queen Elizabeth I (ff. 100 verso-101 verso) and proverbs in Latin (f. 102 recto-verso). The volume is perhaps partly in the hand of David Pennant of Bychton, parish of Whitford, Flintshire, who was Sheriff of Flintshire in 1641-2, the legal notes possibly referring to cases heard at the Flintshire Quarter Sessions during that year.
