Reference
SC 8/55/2727
Date
[1330]
Description
Petitioners
Abbot and convent of Kirkstall
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
The petitioners ask the king to send close letters to the coroners that they instruct the sheriff to obey the king's will concerning their rights in a pasture appurtenant to their manor of Barnoldswick. The king appointed Giffard, Denum, Hoperton and Deynill as justices to enquire into their suit concerning their rights to the pasture (that Lacy took from the previous Abbot) and a writ was despatched to the sheriff to implement their decision, but he refuses to obey the king's orders in the matter.
Nature of endorsement
Sue the suit elsewhere and through such legal process as the law allows.
Places mentioned
Bernolueswik (Barnoldswick), [West Riding of Yorkshire]
People mentioned
John Giffard
William de Denum
Adam de Hoperton
Thomas Deynill
Hugh de Grymeston, late Abbot of Kirkstall
Henry de Lacy, late Earl of Lincoln
Note
Presumably dating from the period between the issue of the commission in 1330 (CPR 1330-4, p. 56) and the grant of early 1331 (ibid, p. 70).
