Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to? 1388, with reference to the forfeiture of Nicholas Brembre. However, John Reche served as escheator of Kent (and Middlesex) between 24 November 1394 and 5 August 1397, and since he is described simply as escheator, rather than 'then escheator' or 'former escehator', the petition presumably dates to that period.
