Surveys of the Estates of Glastonbury Abbey, c. 1135-1201, 2001, 300 p. -

This is a critical edition of 6 12th century surveys of the vast estates of Glastonbury Abbey, 5 of which are published for the first time. They deal with both the monastic household and the Abbot's lordship as a tenant-in-chief. They throw much light on the changing methods by which he exploited the resources of his manors, and provide evidence of how the services and holdings of the peasantry were affected by a rising population.
