Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Abbot of Westminster.

- King and council.
- Occupation
- Abbot of Westminster
- Nature of request
- The abbot requests remedy and that he be served of the rent from lands appurtenant to a tenement called Hidelond in Laleham which Englefield held from him, and which is in the king's hand by an exchange with Englefield for land in Cumberland. He hasn't been served with the rent since the exchange.
- Nature of endorsement
- Certain people are to be assigned to enquire of the matter in the presence of the keeper, and the inquisition is to be returned into Chancery. If it is found that the tenement is held of the abbot, and that he and his predecessors were seised of it until the exchange, then the rent and the value of the works are to be paid or satisfaction made in another manner to the abbot.
- Places mentioned
- Laleham, Middlesex

Note (Additional information about the record)
- An inquisition was held concerning the land that was exchanged in early 1331, though this does not seem to be the inquisition held in response to the petition (CIM 1307-49, no.1217). The petition is not likely to be too much later.
