Exchequer Steps
The Exchequer Steps are in Westminster, where revenue and weight are audited. Along with the Hall of Petitions, Admiralty Register Close and the Hall of Seals, they make up the documentary heart of Westminster, and belong to the Crown even though they sit in the same capital as mayoral halls and city courts. Copying-Clerk Thomas Hebblethwaite works at them, and clerks in the Crown's revenue offices there are said to pick up a cough from bundle dust by their fourth winter.
