Curious it mentions that"James Caverhill, a fine art conservator charged with cleaning up the document, said that the survey could have been written by Cistercian monks at Kirkstall Abbey"I thought the dissolution of Kirkstal Abbey happened in 1539

We can only hope that James Caverhill is a qualified restorer and not emulating Del Boy and the Chandelier, in the process of using windolene to clean the document!
