- Petitioners
- Tenants and landholders of Mablethorpe.
- Addressees
- Commons in parliament.
- Nature of request
- The tenants state that the town has been utterly destroyed by inundations of the sea. They request that they receive a respite from the payment of taxes granted by parliament for the next ten years as the lands of the town are of no value or profit.
- Nature of endorsement

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition makes reference to a grant of a tax at the parliament held at Westminster on 22 September in the 8th year of Henry VI. The petition obviously post-dates this, so that a date of c. 1431 seems reasonable especially as the heading of the section in Rot. Parl. (IV, p. 384) notes these original petitions to be from the 9th year.
