Note
CPR 1381-5, p.26 is dated at Havering atte Bower, 6 July 1381. This petition must postdate the uprising of 1381, and a note on the guard suggests that it is probably from some time later, perhaps around 1390: it notes that the three witnesses mentioned on the dorse coincide in a document of 25 February 1390 (CCR 1389-92, p.151).
