Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1307, based on the dating of Rot. Parl., vol I, p.192, the dating of the memoranda roll being for the parliament at Carlisle on Wednesday in the Octave of St Hillary, 35 Edw. I. The grant of an extension to the prior and convent on the 1 April 1307 at Carlisle confirms the dating (CPR 1301-7, p.513).
