Summary
Folios 108r–111r contain deeds relating to the Griffin in Cheap. The red-ink heading at the top of f. 108r translates as “John Fraunceys gave us these tenements for the support of poor people”, and the red-ink heading “Gryffyn in Chepe” is written above the red-ink folio number. Thereafter the verso pages have the heading “Gryffon” (f. 108v) or “Gryffyn” (ff. 109v and 110v) and the recto pages “in Chepe”, but ff. 111v (and 112r) have no headings, except the folio number on f. 112r. One notes in addition that the name “John Fraunces” has been added three times in red ink, in the margins of ff. 108v, 109v, and 110r, only the last of these bearing a relation to the text alongside.
Grant by Richard Abel to William de Causton [5 August 1325]
May those present and future know that I, Richard Abel, son of Sir John Abelle, knight, have given, granted, and by this my present deed have confirmed to William de Causton, citizen and mercer of London, all that tenement with two shops and all its other appurtenances which I had in West Cheap market in the parish of St Vedast, London, situated between the tenement of Richard de Shordich on one side towards the east, and the tenement formerly that of John Le Lucier on the other side towards the west, i.e. whatever I had there or could have had as in lands, houses, buildings, wood, stones, in length, in breadth, in height, in depth, and in all things, without any retention by me or any diminution whatsoever. To have and to hold … from the chief lords of that fee freely, quit, wholly, well and in peace, in fee and inheritance, by the services due from it and accustomed by right in perpetuity.
