Whereas on the 27th July in the 11th year of the reign, the king committed to the prior of Okebourn the custody of his priory to hold during pleasure, rendering 530l. yearly to king, and the prior made fine with the king for the goods and chattels in the priory and for the lands for a certain sum, and he has now besought the king to cause allowance to be made to him for the value of the manors of Westpreston and Hoo, co. Sussex, parcel of the priory, which the king committed to Reginald de Cobham on 4 September last, to hold so long as they should remain in the king's hand, rendering so much as others who had held them were wont to render for the same, and for the goods in those manors, which the king afterwards granted to Reginald, to answer for the value thereof; the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to cause the prior to have such allowance, having consideration of the value of the manors and of the price of the goods and chattels by inquisition, extent and appraisement, provided that Reginald shall answer for the said manors, goods and chattels to the king.
