Note (Additional information about the record)
- A grant of pontage for three years was made for the repair of the bridge between Idsall and Snedshill on 20 September 1332. Although this is not what was requested here, it may have been the actual outcome of the inquest, or of a later petition on the same subject. The handwriting of the piece would certainly correspond with a date around that time.
