Summary
Folios 282r–283r contain documents relating to the Star in Cheapside.
The scribe who wrote f. 275v etc. above returns to write this section.
A heading in black ink above the text is written by the same scribe as writes the pages: “The Testament of John Barret, goldesmythe for the Sterr in Chepe”. Above that in another, somewhat later, hand is written: “The Starre in Chepe with ij tenements on either syde and their iiij shoppes”. The high tops to a few of these letters have been slightly cropped.
