When we attempt to compare this valuation with the first valuation made
after the surrender, as given in _Monasticon_ we find that the
latter omits various sources of income, as has already been mentioned
is commonly the case. The valuation of the demesne at Croxden had
decreased from £16 to £14 2s. 5d., but that of Musden Grange had risen
from £13 6s. 8d. to £19 11s. 8d. Alton rents had risen from £5 4s.
1d. to £5 15s. 3d., and the value of the water-mill there from £2 5s.
4d. to £4. Rents in Tokeby in Leicestershire had risen from £8 to
£11 9s. 4d., and the tithe there from £4 to £7. It appears as though
the rents from lesser folk had been generally raised, but the richer
people managed to keep down the valuation of their property. The total
valuation for the property which is mentioned is £157 1s. 2d. When it
is remembered that items amounting to some £15 are not included, this
is a very large increase on _Valor Ecclesiasticus_. The following
are not mentioned in the earlier valuation but appear in the later:
Great Gate and Denstone--rents £2 16 8
Ditto with Musden, Calder, and Trussley (tithes) 6 13 4
Great Gate and Ridding--messuage and wood 3 5 0
Crakemarsh Grange 3 0 0

„ water-mill 1 0 0

„ water-mill 1 6 8
Hunchedial 17 18 8
Puttels 1 4
East Norton, tithe 2 13 4
Caythorpe, „ 13 4
There are also a few other items of small amount.
