[214] There is a statement of the accounts of St John's, Walbrook, between Sept. 10th, 1572 and Sept. 11th, 1573. From this we learn that the collectors received £16. 17s. 5d., and that £1. 6s. 8d. was lacking of the assessed sum. £5. 3s. 4d. had been paid to the poor of the parish, £9. 15s. 9d. to the Treasurer of Christ's Hospital, while the collectors owed the remaining 18s. 4d. Cal. of State Papers, Addenda, Sept. 11th, 1573. So far as this parish is concerned therefore the amount paid to the central authorities was much greater than that distributed in local pensions.
