Note: the day figure '17th' and the item wording are Likely; the funeral-charges line and notes at the foot are not reliably read.
How it is shown: Complete frame (original, unaltered); no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Transcribed (frames 766-782); a first reading was made. Confirmed: heading, the year '1720-21' and the figures (a separate addition of the 20 lines gives 835-15-0). Likely: the day figure '17th' (the 7 carries a tick) and the item wording. The line 'inventory taken may [2?]th 17[2?]' is only partly legible; the appraisers were sworn 23 May 1721 (frame 767). The funeral-charges line and the notes below it are not reliably read.
