- Name(s)
- Mannyngham (Manningham), John
- Addressees
- Prince.
- Occupation
- master of the hospital of St Leonard of Newport
- Nature of request
- Mannyngham requests the prince's letters be directed to his bailiff of the town and lordship of Newport Pound commanding him to allow the petitioner to keep and enjoy his fair as he and his predecessors have done in time past. Mannyngham and his predecessors from time out of mind have enjoyed a fair on the eve, feast and morrow of St Leonard in Newport Pound from which the hospital takes the profits and emoluments. Now a servant of the prince has come and demanded to know on what authority they keep the fair. If the hospital loses these profits and emoluments it will not be possible to sustain God's service there, and they fear the servant's words.
- Nature of endorsement
- [On face].He has appeared.[On dorse].A day is given to the petitioner to be before the prince and his council at the Exchequer in Westminster on the day of St Michael in the third week, and in the meantime Thomas Burton and Thomas Saunders are to be consulted on the matter.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1478-1483 on the basis that a cover note preceding this file of petitions indicates that the petitions SC 8/344/E1262-E1316B mostly date to the period 1481-1483, and nearly all appear to belong to the period 1471-1483, this latter date being the dates that Edward Plantagenet, Edward IV's eldest son, held the principality of Wales and the county of Chester. In this case, the petitioner was appointed master of the hospital of St Leonard of Newport on 5 Sept. 1478 so that a narrower range can be adopted (Transactions of the Essex Archaeological Society, vol. XI, n.s., pp. 51, 270). The guard note suggests that the petition could be 1484 or 1486, but on what evidence is unclear.
