- The prior was granted permission to appropriate the church in mortmain on 23 November 1399. That grant was made following complaints from the prior and convent and the 'leprous sisters' of Maiden Bradley, these presumably being the present petition and possibly a slightly earlier one from the sisters, perhaps what the memorandum appears to be referring to.
