Footnotes

1	1531 and 23 H. viii cannot both be right. I believe the regnal year to be correct, in which case this book of accounts (p. 21 to 31) covers the period from Lady-day, 1532 to Lady-day, 1534.
2	i.e. The Bp. of Durham's Palace.
3	Tuesday was the men's gathering day, vide pp. 27, 37, 38, for other small sums collected by them. The Monday (women's) receipts this year were spent on altar hangings, vide p. 31.
4	i.e. the reserved sacrament; kept in (1) a dome-shaped pyx suspended above the altar, or (2) a pyx kept in a cupboard on the superaltar, or (3) a cupboard in the wall, or (4) a detached erection on the Gospel side of the choir (Pugin) this probably refers to 2 or 3, vide n. 1, p. 61.
5	for other chapels, vide pp. 20, 30: our Lady of Pity. pp. 31, 61, 72, 74, 90; St. Cuthbert's.
6	qy. repairing; or mistake for paving—but the latter would have been more expensive.
7	vide also pp. 58, 60.
8	vide Sanctus Bell, n. 1, p. 30.
9	Choir.
10	Rung at the Sanctus in the Mass—sometimes two bells, a handbell rung in the church and a bell hung outside the building. At St. Martin's there appears to have been only one, the latter, vide p. 64.
11	A picture of the Virgin supporting the Lord's body after the descent from the Cross.
12	qy. cleaning, cf. searsing, i.e. a cleansing (Halliwell).
13	Strip of linen spread over the altar rails (if there were any), or held by two acolytes during the communion.
14	Richly embroidered bands attached to most of the vestments, e.g. along the straight edge of the cope.
15	i.e. with the suitable vestments for the deacon and subdeacon.
16	This term would include any kind of altar hangings.
17	In the Strand, very near where now is Durham Street.
18	i.e. red, like the two parts of the altar cloth, presented by Machen and the women of Durham Rents.
19	i.e. of fine linen entirely covered by a closely woven pattern.
