Note 82 — SECTION V.
Reading edition
In the 31st page of Sir Frederick Morton Eden’s Appendix to the State of the Poor, it appears that in 1426, a hay horse, for the Prior (we may suppose of prime quality) cost £1 6s. 8d. and a colt 4s. 6d. And in the year 1448, page 34, the hay of one acre was estimated at 5s.
