Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition must date to after 1312 when the town was apparently taken into the king's hand because the farm had not been paid for the previous two years. As the petition refers to three burnings by the Scots, it perhaps dates to the latter end of the decade, though no evidence to date the petition to this time survives. The dating of 1312-1320 has been adopted.
