[1]  This is commonly called the Tax of 1327. The King’s second regnal year began 25 January 1327/8. The date here given is January 1328 (New Style).

[2]  This tax is recorded in thirty-one separate membranes fastened at the top. The return passes from west to east. The names in each township are entered in two columns, and it is plain that in most cases (if not in all) they are to be read across the page and not down the columns. With a few exceptions, the Roll is in very good preservation.

Rottingdean is an area on the eastern outskirts of modern Brighton.
