Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1334 when the prior was given respite (CCR 1333-7, p.306). However, there is another similar petition by the same petitioners, which dates to 1334, and this has an identical response. It seems unlikely that they are different versions of the same basic petition, so this petition may be a little later.
