Term: Keeper of the Hanaper

Definition: The Keeper of the Hanaper was the person in charge of the money department in Chancery. They collected fees for important documents and fines, paid the staff, bought supplies, and kept track of all the money coming in and going out. It was an important job that helped keep everything organized and running smoothly.

The Keeper of the Hanaper was the person in charge of the receiving and accounting department in Chancery during historical times. This office was responsible for collecting fees on charters and letters granted under the Great Seal, as well as fines for Chancery writs. They also paid Chancery staff wages, purchased office supplies, and accounted for the Chancery's revenues and expenses.

For example, if someone wanted to obtain a charter or letter from the Great Seal, they would have to pay a fee to the hanaper office. The Keeper of the Hanaper would then be responsible for collecting and recording that fee, as well as using it to pay for Chancery expenses.
