- Nature of request
- The petitioners state that because the church of St Chad in Shrewsbury and a good part of the town had been burnt down, the King, in the eighteenth year of his reign, granted his letters patent to the bailiffs, commons and good people of Shrewsbury that, to repair their town, they would be quit of the fee farm of the town for three years, and that he would also pardon them the two half-tenths granted to him in parliament at Winchester; and he then granted those sums by his letters under the signet to those who had suffered in the fire. However, Thomas Pryde, attorney of the bailiffs, commons and good people of Shrewsbury, has received the sum due from the two half-tenths and also £25 from the fee farm, and is wrongly withholding these sums.
