- Nature of request
- The petitioners state that they have built a new stone bridge over the River Medway at Rochester at their own expense, to replace the decayed old bridge, and propose a way of dividing up maintenance of this new bridge between the towns, vills and other places that used to maintain the old bridge. They also ask that these places might be able to choose two wardens annually to survey the bridge and supervise any necessary repairs.
- Nature of endorsement
- [None].
-
Note (Additional information about the record)
- SC 8/86/4255, also making provisions for the new bridge at Rochester, can be dated to 1395 by CPR 1391-6 p.550. This petition does not seem to be the petition from Robert de Knollys and John de Cobham presented to the previous parliament which is mentioned there (which would seem to be SC 8/85/4233), but is probably contemporary or slightly earlier. See the notes to SC 8/86/4256 for indications that it may be contemporary.
