This is a draft transcription and translation of the custodian's accounts for the Templars' property at Bristol. There is also a record of the debts owed to the Templars.
The accounts are preserved at The National Archives of the UK, in E 358/20 rot 2 dorse (covering the years 1310-13) and SC 6/851/10 (particulars of account for 1309-14). During this period there was considerable disruption because the people of Bristol revolted against King Edward II's government; the former Templar property was maintained but some tenants did not pay their rents, some because they could not let their properties, and others because of the revolt.
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 the ruins of the former Hospitaller church at Temple Meads, which was built on the site of and extended from the Templars' church of Holy Cross.All Rights Reserved
