Nature of request

Copy of an extract of an inquisition (held during the last Eyre of London according to SC 8/8/351), concerning a piece of the king's land, on which, eight years previously, Hugh de Waltham and the parishioners of St Peter's, Cornhill, built a house, now inhabited by an anchorite, and where the same parishioners enclosed a plot of land with a palisade, to the harm of the country. John de Oxonia now holds this and because they do not know with what warranty he is summoned; he asks that he might arrent it from the king for twelve pence per annum. This is granted.

Nature of endorsement

He is to hold it as before, until the king is more fully informed.

Places mentioned

St Peter, Cornhill, [London].

People mentioned

Hugh de Waltham

John de Oxonia (Oxford).
