Scope and content
After proceeding before John Bilneye, mayor, between prioress Agnes Shenkelowe and the nuns and Master (Magister) John Bidbrok, clerk, respecting a rent of 4 s. due out of a messuage lying between the land of Peter, son of Ivo, and that of Jeremias of Eltisley, given to the nuns by Reginald, son of Absolon, son of Roger, to prioress Letitia. The said rent was given to the nuns before the Statute (i.e. Quia Emptores Terrarum, 1290, 18 Edw. I). The position and bounds of the said messuage being unknown to any living person, the said John Bidbrook agrees that the said rent shall in future be paid out of a messuage belonging to him in Milne Street (vicus molendari), lying between a messuage formerly of William Wynde, afterwards of Nicholas Hethe, now of John Ascheman, and a tenement of Clare Hall called Welsh Hospice, and abutting on Milne Street. The nuns agree to pray for the said John as one of benefactors.
