Some accounts from Colchester relating to the collection of royal and local taxes between 1490 and 1502 illustrate several features of the way in which the operation was organized. The parishes of the borough and its dependent hamlets were adopted as units for the purpose, each with its assessors and collectors answerable to the borough chamberlain. An analysis of the lists of taxpayers, and the amounts they owed, reveals the extent to which the principles of assessment had departed from those practised up to 1334; in some ways they approached those subsequently adopted for assessing subsidies under the Tudors
