- Bishop of St Asaph's
- Nature of request
- The Bishop of St Asaph's states that he is the defendant against John de Cherleton and Hawise his wife in a case based on three writs of quare impedit concerning the advowsons of the churches of Meifod, Guilsfield, and Welshpool, which are in Powys, and outside any county in England. He sued to have the inquisitions taken by the people of the four cantrefs nearest Powys, and commissions were issued to certain justices accordingly. John de Cherleton, however, has now intervened and had the commission sent back to Chancery to be amended. The Bishop asks to be delivered from this amended commission, and a writ to the justices of the Bench to stay proceedings, so that his church might not be disinherited.
- Nature of endorsement
- Coram rege et magno consilio.This petition is to be sent to Chancery so that when the Chancellor has called there the justices of one Bench and the other, and the matter contained in the petition has been debated with deliberation, they are to strive to put an end to the business.
- Places mentioned
- Meifod, [Montgomeryshire, Wales]
- Guilsfield, [Montgomeryshire, Wales]
- Welshpool, [Montgomeryshire, Wales]
- Powys, Wales
- Shropshire.
- People mentioned
- John de Cherleton
- Hawise [de Cherleton], wife of John de Cherleton
- [Roger de Mortimer], Earl of March.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Index of Placita de Banco 1327–1328, 550 shows that John de Cherleon and Hawise his wife sued David, Bishop of Saint Asaph, in the Court of Common Pleas in Michaelmas term 1328, while CPR 1327-30 pp.561-562 dated 8 December 1330, clearly represents a later stage of the lawsuits. The petition therefore seems datable to 1328-1330
