Nature of request
The petitioners request that the king summon Holgill before him and take sufficient surety that he will keep the peace towards them. They state that he has built a weir in the Thames which now prevents boats from travelling along the river, and stops fish from passing, to their great loss, and has also made a route for his horses through their meadow. He also came to Kew, attacked Lydgold, and sought to kill Lydgold and Maykyn.
Nature of endorsement
[None]
Places mentioned
Sheen (Richmond), [Surrey]
Cayeu (Kew), [Surrey]
Chiswick, [Middlesex]
River Thames
Kingston upon Thames, [Surrey].
People mentioned
Thomas Holgill, esquire, of Chiswick.
Note
Holgill was granted permission to build a fish weir in the Thames in December 1411, and thus presumably this petition (and the similar petition a SC 8/185/6201) also dates from around this time.
