Nature of request
Eylisford recounts that the manors of Buildwas, Isombridge and Brimfield are held, and always have been held, of the King by the services of keeping all the King's forests and hays in Shropshire, and it was found by inquest in the time of the King's grandfather that John de Buildwas the son held these manors at his death and died without an heir so that the remainder went to the petitioner and Isabel, his wife, and their heirs by the said services, but the office of keeping all the King's forests and hays in Shropshire was seised into the hand of the King's grandfather and remains in the King's hand. Eylisford requests that he have delivery of the said office or that a writ of scire facias be granted to the office's current tenant.
