These are draft transcriptions of the surviving documents relating to the Templars' estates at Temple Sowerby in Westmorland. 
There is an 'extent' of the Templars' lands, preserved at Kew, The National Archives of the UK, at E 142/11 mem 4. The document is badly damaged down the left hand side and much of the text has been lost.
There is also a statement from the sheriff on the debts due to the Templars.
The documents in the National Archives are covered by an Open Government Licence for public sector information, which allows everyone to copy, publish, distribute and transmit the documents in their archives: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ . However, this transcription of the documents is copyright Helen J. Nicholson.
The cover photo shows Acorn Bank, which is on the site of the former commandery of Temple Sowerby.All Rights Reserved
