Full description and record details

Reference
SC 8/324/E633B
Date
[c. 1305]
Description
Petitioners
Abbot and convent of Holmcultram (Abbey Town).
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
The abbot and convent request remedy as the king granted them free warren in all their demesne lands of Holmcultram as the Isle of Holmcultram were outside the forest by the perambulation, but now the boundary of the forest is altered and they are within it, since he has no repair for game except hares and foxes and the lands of the Isle of Holmcultram were outside of the regard, and no man has common there.
Nature of endorsement
[The petition bears the same response as SC 8/324/E633A, but it is struck through].
Places mentioned
Holmcultram (Abbey Town), [Cumberland].
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1305 as it seems likely that it is a near contemporary of SC 8/324/E633A.
