Case brought by the abbess of Kanonleghe against John Wyk of Nynhyde on account of his failure to acquit her against William Stradelyng, knight, for the free tenement which she held of him. She declared through Thomas Norwys, her attorney, that she held a messuage and a carucate of land of John in Thorne St. Margaret in free alms, which he held of Sir William as of his manor of Halsway, and that her predecessors had held of John’s ancestors. Sir William had repeatedly distrained on the abbess, through her plough beasts and in other ways, for John’s failure to acquit her. Her damages amounted to £100. John Wyk through John Lapynford, his attorney, denied knowledge of the conditions of the abbess’s tenure and of his own liability for services. The case was decided in favour of the abbess, who waived the damages.
Date: ? 1306-7 [in no. 30, which is dated 1311, John Clavile admitted to being twentysix years in arrears with other tithes. It seems likely that the twenty-two years in this case are also reckoned from 1284].
MS. : f. 35v. and f. 36v. (bottom margin only).
Case presented before the Official of the bishop of Exeter by the proctor of the canonesses, who asserted that both the great and the small tithes of all the parishioners of the church of Burleyscomb belonged to them both by custom and common right, but that John Clauyle, a parishioner of the church, had wickedly overthrown their rights and had retained the tithes of coppice wood and pannage for twenty-two years to the value of ten pounds sterling, imperilling his own soul and setting a pernicious example to others. The case was decided in favour of the canonesses.
Date: Exeter, Monday 19 October 1282.
MS.: f. 45r.
Memorandum of an agreement made by John de Ayscheford, lord of Aysford, and the villeins of the place, all of them parishioners of the church of Burlyscombe, with the canons, in the presence of the Official of the bishop of Exeter.
