Summary
The instructions specified that the commissioners for each county or district were to be six in number: the auditor, receiver and clerk of the registry reappointed from the commission for the tenth of the previous year, and three gentlemen of the locality. A quorum, where specified, was to consist of two ‘professionals’ and one ‘gentleman’. In fact, the professional element was rarely the same as in 1535, and often only one or two gentlemen attended. In the lists that follow, the professionals, now mostly ‘Augmentations men’, are italicized when identifiable; an asterisk denotes those who are known to have served as commissioners for the tenth. In view of the favourable reports made by these commissions, it is worth noting that almost all the names appear sooner or later as grantees of monastic lands.
