I am not at all confident of the accuracy of Mr. Johnson’s statement, on which the latter half of this sentence is founded. Certainly some of the houses of the Jews of Hereford, Winchester, and Ipswich, were granted away by the king (_Lansdowne MSS._, British Museum, Vol. 826, part 5, Transcript 4), _Rotuli Originalium_ (Record Commission), I., 73_b_–76_a_.

[243] A list, not quite complete, of the houses belonging to the expelled Jews is contained in the Manuscript known as _Q. R. Miscellanea_: “Jews,” No. 557, 9 and 11 (Public Record Office). A list of persons who received from the King grants of Jews’ houses, to hold at a nominal rental, is printed in _Rotulorum Originalium Abbreviatio_ (Record Commission) pp. 73a-76b, and the deeds of gift are copied in full in _Lansdowne MSS._ (British Museum) Vol. 826, Part 5, Transcript 4. Nearly all the houses mentioned in _Q. R. Miscellanea_ are granted away by deeds included in the _Rotuli Originalium_ and the Lansdowne Transcript.
