My sister Christian wife of Mr James Pitts and her children James, John christian and Mary, my sister Elizabeth now the wife of John Fisher, Accounts left by John Chamberlayne, a landowner at Maugersbury, reveal in painful detail what it cost him to entertain - involuntarily - armies from either side. When Prince Rupert faced Lord Essex on his land in the summer of 1643, he had 'corn upon the ground' trampled and spoiled to the value of at least pounds 40 - perhaps pounds 4,000 in today's terms. Forced to quarter 30 officers, 40 horses and 120 foot soldiers of Sir William Waller's army for five days, Chamberlayne spent another pounds 27 10s. Besides these direct costs, he lost 17 plough horses, and paid large sums 'to stave off quartering' and 'to avoid charges incident to war' ? 1678 James Bisse of Batcombe, Somerset, gent., & Grace Strangways of Marnhull, Dorset, marr.
