Summary
Folios 271r–280r contain documents concerning the Shaa properties.
[The will of Sir Edmund Shaa] [20 March 1487/88]
A different hand writes this section, possibly the same as that of ff. 214r–216v, or one very similar, and writes ff. 271r–275r, after which a different hand takes over.
The first initial “I” is given a space five lines deep, is drawn as if a pole with a scroll wrapped around it, and is part-coloured in blue. The first seven words are written large and in very black ink, and elaborate ascenders are drawn from two letters. The testator's name is then written large in very black ink, and thereafter the first words of a new section of the will are written large and bold. There are a few marginal notes written at a later period (noted below in footnotes).
