Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1403, with reference to a pardon of 4 December 1403 for the original grant being made without licence, but there is no firm indication that this is directly connected to this petition, and it does not include any mention of Leigh Delamere. However, the petition does not contain any obvious suggestion that the elder Cobham was dead (he died on 6 July 1403), possibly indicating that the petition predates both the pardon and Cobham's death, although the details of his health might also suggest a date towards the end of his life. Reginald Curteys died on 14 February 1419, still in possession of West Cliffe.
