3. The following extraction was made from the "Index to the Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by H.A. Hanley, B.A. and C.W. Chalklin, M.A., B. Litt <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/7/313.htm> accessed 11 Feb 2016. From this index, the actual entries are found in "The Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by the same authors <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/3/058-172.htm> accessed 12 Feb 2016. The second document more fully explains the history of this Lay Subsity. This was a tax assessed on householders; however, it probably only represents about 50% of the householders since the poorer families were not assessed:
Hoppere, Jn., 131 (Hundred of Schamele [Shamwell]), 152 (Hundred of Loniberghe [Loningborough]); Rd., 114 (Hundred of Lauerkefeld [Larkfield]); Rog., 137 (Hundred of Blakehethe [Blackheath]); Wm., 164 (Bailiwick of Scapeya [Sheppey]).
