Dean and chapter of St Paul's.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The dean and chapter request that the king grant and confirm all the tenements and rents given, assigned and devised to them for the sustenance of them and their church, and for the service of God, and that the escheator be commanded not to intermeddle with these, these being granted by the people, bishops and canons of the church according to the custom of the city of London for the maintenance of the work of the church there.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Places mentioned
London.
Note
The petition is dated to? c. 1316 on the basis of an inspeximus and confirmation of royal charters granted to St Paul's on 6 February 1316. However, the date must be considered with a great deal of care, as the petition requests the confirmation of charters by the people, bishops and canons, and no mention is made to royal charters, so that it seems that the confirmation in the charter rolls is not in response to the petition. That being said, the hand is not inconsistent with a petition of around that date.
