Borough records of Dartmouth from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, with music on ff. 3'-6. The scribe and composer of the music may have been John Kendall, senior chantry priest of St. Saviour's Church in Dartmouth (the word 'John' appears twice in the bottom margin of the last page of the music). Copied at Dartmouth. DartD suggests that the music may have been copied in the borough's new record book as a reminder that the borough was beholden to St. Saviour's Church for its new offices, the Guildhall.

The music is on ff. 3'-6 of this paper manuscript containing borough records of Dartmouth from the late 15th and early 16th centuries; the music was part of the original manuscript, not a later addition. Bound in wooden boards covered with sheepskin. The scribe and composer of the music may have been John Kendall, senior chantry priest of St. Saviour's Church in Dartmouth (the word "John" appears twice in the bottom margin of the last page of the music). Four parchment flyleaves (two at each end of the volume) from a 14th-century book on ecclesiastical law.

Ca. 1480. Copied at Dartmouth. DartD suggests that the music may have been copied in the borough's new record book as a reminder that the borough was beholden to St. Saviour's Church for its new offices, the Guildhall.
