An index, most likely written long after the fact.
Note: Rushbury about 20 miles from Alveley by the very curved road, so likely half that as the crow flies. This is 1534, but I think it is just a registered will
after his first wife died - either that or it is actually him appearing for her death which could have been in 1534.

Modern English version:
[Cover] About 1534 – Edward Hotchkiss [recorded as “Haken” – a scribal form]
The contents and parcels belonging to Edward Hotchkiss, deceased, above [listed] were appraised by William [Wymer?] and
Robert Glover in the presence of John Morrys, on the first day of November in the 26th year of the reign of King Henry VIII.
[Left column – items bequeathed]
First, my gown – appraised at 2 shillings, 6 pence
One coat – appraised at 2 shillings
One girdle – appraised at 12 pence
One fine bed – appraised at 5 shillings
One cauldron – appraised at 2 shillings, 4 pence
A [maur?]* – appraised at 6 pence
My cupboard and my [lavb?]* – appraised at 2 shillings
One pot – appraised at 4 pence
One pan – appraised at 8 pence
[Right column – valuation summary]
The total amount appraised comes to 17 shillings in lawful money.
Of which the appraised goods and chattels were valued at 17 shillings, 4 pence.
*Those two odd items — “maur” and “lavb” — are worth double-checking. In some probate inventories, “maur” might be a form
of “maul” [a small hammer or mallet], and “lavb” could be a shorthand for a lavatory basin or laver. The letterforms in
this hand aren’t definitive, but the values suggest small household fixtures
rather than livestock or land.
Note: “26th year of Henry VIII” = 21 Apr 1534 – 20 Apr 1535.
Note: Children listed as: John, Symon, William, Edward.
