- Nature of request
- The petitioner seeks payment of a pension of £4 per year from Shutlyngton, granted by King Edward [II] (the king's father) from the issues and profits of St Dunstan's Church. He makes it known that King Henry [III] (the king's great-grandfather) established a building in the suburb of London for converts, for the souls of his ancestors and successors, and for the maintenance of the converts and the chaplains and clerks performing divine offices for the aforesaid souls in the chapel of Our Lady in the same building. He granted the warden of the converts all the issues and profits from St Dunstan's Church, which was (and still is) in the king's patronage. From which issues the converts, chaplains etc., were fully maintained until King Edward [II] (the king's father) presented a parson to the church, paying a pension of £4 each year to the converts, chaplains etc., which pension Shutlyngton, now parson of the church (who sings in Windsor Castle) has withheld for a long time, and still does so.
