Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Burgesses of Nottingham.
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The burgesses of Nottingham say that murage was granted to them for five years at the council of Stamford, but that a writ was then sent ordering them to cease taking murage until Christmas one year later. They ask that they might be able to have the grant of murage, notwithstanding this writ, and that a command might be given to cease demanding pontage instead, until the walls are complete.
- Nature of endorsement
- The stay of demand was made with the assent of the burgesses of the town, and for that reason it is to remain in force.
- Places mentioned
- Nottingham, [Nottinghamshire]
- Stamford, [Lincolnshire].

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Apparently firmly dated to 1327-1332 by reference to CPR 1327-30, p.96, dated at Stamford, 20 April 1327. The grant of pontage, CPR 1327-30, p.102, is dated 3 May 1327, and its extension by a year (CPR 1327-30, p. 30) is dated 30 August 1328, which would suggest that the petition is most probably datable to 1327-1329, although there may have been further extensions.
