- Petitioners

The office of prior has been long vacant because of the great oppression by Bitesle who makes himself patron of the house and will make a prior of his own will without the assent of the convent, and they have elected Kington, but they are prevented from having this confirmed by the bishop by the actions of Bitesle.

- [None].
