DCRO D/Bo/F/138. This list is undated but catalogued as c. 1743. It is more likely to have compiled in 1732 for Bishop Chandler. Evidence from elsewhere shows that he commissioned such a list, with the distances of the veins from New House, from Peter Whitfield in 1732, so it was possibly from him. It is likely to have been written between 10th June and 9th July. The earlier date is quoted in the report as being when lead ore was carried away. On the later date Bishop Chandler wrote to Walter Blackett (DUL CCB B 182 121) complaining about ore being carried away. The Bishop’s letter was probably written soon after receipt, so 1st July is used here. The additional notes and marks in the margin and on the document are probably in Chandler’s hand.
