Royal instructions to the Commissioners for making a survey and valuation of Church property, 30th January 1535. The Valor Ecclesiasticus, compiled over the course of 1535, was one of the great administrative achievements of Henry's government. This commission provided for commissioners in every diocese to undertake a systematic investigation and listing of the value of all 'cathedral churches, colleges, churches collegiate, houses conventual, hospitals, monasteries, priories, houses religious, prebends, parsonages, vicarages, chantries, free chapels and other cures, offices and promotions spiritual' in England and Wales. The information was required to enable Henry to extract full value from a statute of 1534 that required all Church offices holders to pay to the Crown the 'first fruits', or first full year's income, plus an annual tenth of the revenue of the benefice thereafter
