Excerpt from A History of Agriculture and Prices in England, Vol. 2: From the Year After the Oxford Parliament (1259) To the Commencement of the Continental War (1793), Compiled Entirely From Original and Contemporaneous Records; 1259-1400 Queen's College has afforded only one set of farming accounts, those, namely, of God's House in Southampton, the bedesmen and sisters of which possessed the manor of Gussage in Dorset. The fullest of these Southampton accounts long precede the foundation of Queen's College, and belong to a time when God's House was an inde pendent corporation. New College has supplied information for the later portion of this inquiry. The archives of this society are in the very best condition, but, with one exception, give no evidence before the reign of Richard the Second. The exception is the manor of Heyford Warren in Oxfordshire. This estate was purchased by Wykeham from the Lisles.
