Observations:

The documents comprise an inventory as under, an admon in Latin with probate date and a cover sheet on which there appears to be an accounting of some sort but which does not seem to be connected to this deceased.

Her Inventory  ( the top right hand corner is torn off and missing thus the full detail of the assessors is unclear) is reproduced with modern spelling.
