Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition mentioned within the document, presented at the Salisbury parliament of 1328, is clearly SC 8/16/756. Arthuret church, also mentioned in that petition, was restored in 1330, but Abbotsley is not mentioned (CPR 1327-30 p.496). This petition presumably dates from around this time, after the Treaty of Northampton (1328), but before 1333, by when Jedburgh's possessions were again forfeited (CPR 1330-4, p.457).
