It is repeated on the inner side of the leaf where the amounts assessed are divided by four (compared with the main list) and there are a few other minor variations (eg 'Madaford' is shown as 'Madaten'). The 1715 militia assessment for Lamerton has been entered on the two inner leaves of the folio.] The back of the document is endorsed 'Bridestow £3 1s 0d, 1 qu[ar]terly payment']
