Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1318, with reference to CIM 1307-49 no.325, an inquisition into whether it would be to anyone's harm if the town of Sutton became a free borough: but the Vautorts mentioned do not include Ralph, and in any case this does not seem directly relevant. The petition is more safely dated to circa Edward II's reign.
