Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Original Ministers' Accounts Preserved in the Public Record Office, Vol. 2 The latter years of the reign of Henry VIII. Mark a period of transition in the history of the revenues of the crown. The suppression of the religious houses, the attainders which followed in the wake of ecclesiastical and political changes, especially those of the Pilgrims of Grace, and the numerous purchases and exchanges which were made in pursuance of the royal policy of concentrating its possessions in so-called honours, such as Ampthill, Grafton and Hampton Court, effected a great change in the character and extent of the crown lands. This is' forcibly illustrated by the accounts comprised in the present list; those of the reign of Henry VII. Number and in few cases exceed 10 membranes in length; [those of Henry VIII., of which the majority belong to the last eleven years of his reign, number and in many cases exceed 30 membranes in length. The change in character is indicated by the fact that, whereas the earlier accounts are grouped in relation to the former tenure of the lands with which they deal, with ar subordinate local arrangement, towards the close of the reign of Henry VIII., and, more emphatically, during the reign of his successor, the local classification becomes dominant. In order to meet! The burden of work entailed by this increase in the possession of the crown, the Court of Augmentations was established (27 Hen. VIII., cap. 27) and the functions of the Court of General Surveyors, which dated from the third year of the reign, were considerably extended (33 Hen. VIII., cap. On its first erection, the Court of Augmentations adopted a method of dealing with the lands under its survey which was consistent with previous usage, but which soon proved cumbrous and inadequate.
