Since there are very few presentments over this period, all of the pages have been transcribed. As a convenient structure they have been organized by year.

1. Only a minimum of punctuation has been added and this, hopefully, assists in understanding.

2. Spelling changes have generally also been kept to a minimum. Reversal of letters was quite common in the 17th Century - some of these have been modernised to assist readability.

3. The presentments, as a general rule, start with the phrase "We find and present". For the sake of my sanity this repetition has been missed out.

Any term abbreviated or difficult to understand will have an explanation in square brackets [ ]. More complex terms will be hyperlinked to a separate page.

Major querys are followed by ???

Missing or impossible to read are replaced by _____
