- Nature of request
- Askeby requests that he be discharged of the £20 that was due from the Lewes portion of West Walton church from the time of the resignation of Safres and that the sum may not come in demand in future, for he is ready to show Safres's resignation under an authentic seal and by a public instrument. He received a commission out of the exchequer for the custody of the goods of master William de Safres, an alien, late parson of the Lewes portion in the church of West Walton, rendering each year £20 to the Exchequer for this portion, and subsequently Safres made a straight resignation of the portion a long time ago, but nonetheless, the barons of the exchequer every year since this resignation have demanded and are still summoning by exchequer summons from the petitioner, who is now parson of the whole church of West Walton, £20 a year by reason of the commission.1)
