Description
Petitioners
Chapter of Southwell.
Addressees

Nature of request
The chapter of the collegiate church of St Mary, Southwell request that the king grant them letters patent in the form contained in the attached schedule [no longer extant].
Nature of endorsement
[None]
Places mentioned
Southwell, [Nottinghamshire].
Note
On 20 May 1441, letters patent to John Tisyng regarding various lands in Nottinghamshire were revoked at the request of the chapter of Southwell. Although no firm connection can be made, the handwriting of the petition would certainly be consistent with such a date, and it is probably unlikely that the chapter would make many requests without the Dean.
