- Nature of request
- The petitioners requests that they can be granted the voidance of their abbey rendering for it as much as ought to be rendered, the abbot having died, and they not wishing to be ruined by the escheator.
- Nature of endorsement
- It should be examined as to how much the voidance was worth to the king at the last vacancy whereof the account is in the account roll of the escheator John de Houton from 4 Edward III. Now the abbot has made a fine of 20 marks that the prior and convent can have the custody of the temporalities at the first vacancy paying 20 marks for half a year and 40 marks for the whole, and a proportionate amount for any period longer than half a year.
- Places mentioned
- Darley, [Derbyshire].
