Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1310 as the petitioner was granted the chapel on 22 March 1310 (CPR 1307-13, p. 218). The dating seems strange because the petition and the grant refer to the grant being made during vacancy, though there does not seem to be one in March 1310 when the grant was made.
