Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? c. 1472 as the petition appears to suggest that a new abbot of Gloucester had just taken office, or was about to, and as the petition by its hand and by the reference to Lord Hastings in the following petition to which this petition is sewn is certainly of the reign of Edward IV, it seems very likely that the petition dates to the commencement of William Farley's abbacy in that year.
