The following inventory at Roche is unlikely to be a comprehensive list of all their possessions; as Aveling suggests, it is likely that the abbot and monks made a ‘timely disposal’ of many of the valuables before the visitors arrived, J. W. Aveling, The History of Roche Abbey from its Foundation until its Dissolution (Worksop, 1870), pp. 88-9. The inventory names the following: lands and tenements: £222; plate in the monastery; a cross with a partially gilded shank; a crozier; seven chalices; a tabernacle ‘which lies in pledge for £40; two salts gilded with one covering; one standing cup, partially gilded; one white bowl; an old cup, partially gilded; six masers; thirty-two spoons; cattle pertaining to the house; eighty oxen; five carthorses; two mares, one foal, one stag, 120 sheep, forty swine; eleven feather beds with all things belonging to them; ‘fourscore quarter’ of wheat and malt.
