Vellum roll from the accounts of the High Sheriff of Berkshire

On roll of vellum approximately 21 cm wide and 195 cm long. Neatly written in chancery hand, with approximately ten lines to every 10 cm length. The top part torn away, otherwise good, on aged vellum. The placename Westby is mentioned, which is found in both Lincolnshire and Lancashire, but on the other hand the document also refers to justiciars in Kent and at Westminster. An important clue may be that Sir John Blagrave and Sir Edward Yate are both listed as 'nuper vic' - presumably 'late sheriff'. The two men were High Sheriffs of Berkshire in 1624 and 1628 respectively.
