List of Watchfield Tax payers in 1332
This information comes from National Archives E179 Series. This class of records known as "King's Remembrancer, particulars of accounts and other records relating to lay and clerical taxation," or, more conveniently, by the series E179.
This Berkshire document is explicity an individual assessment for the fifteenth and tenth (the type of tithes) granted to Edward III in 1332, and is a remarkably clean and informative example of this type of document, for one so early in the series.

It's interesting to note that there were more principle tax payers in Watchfield than in Shrivenham. Also, as is the case in Shrivenham, we see none of the common names that appeared from around the 17th century, like Jenner, Anger, Stratton.
