- Nature of request
- The Master and brothers of Farley state that Lady Aline Wake gave them various rents by her charter, before the time of King Henry, from tenements in Eston in the parish of Old Warden, and that these tenements afterwards came into their hands by escheat, and were leased by them at farm. The Escheator of Bedfordshire has seized this rent into the king's hand, claiming that it was found before him by inquest that they acquired it from their own lands, held of the king in chief by knight service, after the statute of religious and without permission, and has returned this reason in Chancery. They request a remedy.
- Nature of endorsement
- This writ is to be sent to Chancery, and he is to have a writ on this, to inquire again; and when the inquest has been returned, justice is to be done.

- Farley, Bedfordshire
- Eston (in Old Warden), Bedfordshire

Note (Additional information about the record)
- No date given on guard. This must be after the appointment of Escheators for counties. Escheators were appointed for counties between 1323 and 1327, between 1332 and 1335, and then from 1340 onwards. The petition is most probably from one of the two earlier periods.
