Spellings are as per source, i.e. J Horsfall Turner's "History of Brighouse, Rastrick & Hipperholme" published 1893. The amounts assessed are in pounds, shillings and pence, and for those who don't remember:
                    12d. = 1 shilling [s.]
                         20s. = £1
                         240 old pence [d.] = £1
