Note
This would appear to be the inquisition resulting from the writ at SC 8/179/8911 (dated 16 November 1295), and as such would presumably have been held in the weeks or months immediately following that date. The names of the jurors are given, but the faded text and poor handwriting makes them difficult to reconstruct with any certainty. Given the style of the handwriting, this would appear to be the original inquisition rather than a copy, but it was almost certainly presented as evidence alongside SC 8/179/8910, a petition from a later abbot into this matter, along with the other documents noted.
