Note (Additional information about the record)
- St Thomas the Apostle's day, 2 Edward III is 21 December 1328: this petition must postdate that - probably by at least a year, as it does not say 'the last feast of St Thomas', but probably not by too many years, in view of the Latin endorsement. CPR 1334-8 p. 545 (22 October 1337) mentions a William de Walden receiving pontage in Maidenhithe at that time, who might be the one mentioned in the petition; CCR 1339-41, p.448 (21 February 1340) would seem to suggest that William de Rockingham was dead by then.
