Abstract & context
Sir John Jacob's post-mortem inventory consists of a number of parchment sheets. These would originally have been stitched together at their base, but have become detached.
The ink is relatively faded, especially on the left hand side of the sheets, and is totally obscured in part.
The organisation of the inventory does not appear to follow a strict room by room approach. It appears to relate to the St Leonard, Bromley house, which was rated at a very substantial thirty-two hearths in the 1666 hearth tax return. By comparison, Thomas Tomlins' Bromley house was related in the same return at thirteen hearths. Nevertheless, the names of the rooms can be listed as follows:
The great parlour
The ?Scotch chamber
The chamber over the little parlour
The gallery
Mrs Peachman's chamber
M:r Ling?s chamber
The wash house
The stables
The little hall
Mr Sill's room
The nursery
The Lady's chamber
The kitchen
The closet
The ?bowling house
The cellar
The ?larder
The still house
The ?pantrie
the great hall
The chapel
