Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1330, with regard to CChR 1327-41, p.197 and p.219, charters confirmed by Edward III in 1330 and 1331. However, the earlier reference relates to charters dating from the reigns of William II and Henry II, with only the latter confirmations, made on 25 March 1331, relating to charters of Henry I. This might suggest a date in 1331 or later, but too little survives to allow further precision. A modern note on the dorse refers to 'The Register of the Priory of Wetherhal' (ed. J Prescott, London, 1897), p.410, but the relationship with that entry is unclear.
