Note (Additional information about the record)
- The lands that were held by Despenser were extended in March 1329 (CIM 1307-49, no.1073). It seems likely that the petition must date to around this time, though it may perhaps have been earlier, as the abbot and convent are likely to have sought to recover their lands as quickly as possible.
