Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1315 on the basis of the date given within the petition for the taking of the cheese, namely the Wednesday next before All Saints, 9 [Edw. II]. The petition's date does, however, present some problems because the dating does not tally with the date that Burdeyn served as sheriff, he serving from Michaelmas 1313 to Michaelmas 1314 (List of Sheriffs, p.201).
