Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to? 1428, with reference to Gresley's period as sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in 1426-7. However, he also served as sheriff in 1418-19, but it is not known when Nevill served as his undersheriff. Makerell, himself sheriff on three occasions (he followed Gresley in 1419-20) appears to have died in 1435-6 (C 139/74/21), while Margaret Rempston (wife of Sir Thomas Rempston (d.1406)) died in 1454. Given that the petition refers to events in either 1418-19 or 1426-7, it presumably dates to some time between the earlier of these periods and Makerell's death. The damage to the petition makes further identification difficult, and the exact location of the wasted lands in question is now illegible.
