Description
Petitioners
Executors of Ralph de Nevill of Raby.
Addressees
King and Council.
Nature of request
The executors of Ralph de Nevill state that, although Nevill had spent much on repairing Bamburgh Castle while he was custodian, they have nevertheless been ordered to make further repairs to the castle. They therefore request an enquiry into what dilapidations occurred during Nevill's time, so that they are not charged for damages which occurred before or after that period, and although they are ready to make reasonable repairs, they expect allowance for sums already spent by Nevill during his lifetime.
