Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is clearly of Edward III's reign as it refers back to King Edward the king's grandfather. However the dating of c. 1332 is based on entries in the patent and close rolls which concern the prior and convent and the farm, but do not seem to relate to the actual petition, so the date is not confirmed by these references (CPR 1330-4, p.99; CCR 1330-3, p.459).
