To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to view the
certificate enclosed with those presents, and after receiving from the prior
of Hextildesham what pertains by reason of the new tax of the parish of
the prebendal church of Salton, diocese of York, contained in that enclosure,
not to charge the prior and convent further by reason of that church, as
lately at the suit of the prior and convent of Hextildesham, beseeching the
king to provide a remedy, as the said parish, which they hold for their own
uses, has been wasted by the invasions of the Scots and fires, and although
other churches of those parts so destroyed have been newly taxed and the
first taxations modified according to the value then current, and the said
church of Salton has not been taxed or the taxation modified, through the
negligence of the prior, absent abroad, although the church is not worth so
much on account of the said destruction, the king, taking compassion on
the priory, ordered W. archbishop of York to take an inquisition upon the
true value of the church, and to cause it to be taxed according to the finding
of the inquisition, and to send the taxation to chancery, and the archbishop
has found by inquisition that the church has been much destroyed by the
invasions of the Scots, like the other neighbouring churches, and its tax
was not mitigated like that of those churches by reason of the negligence of
that prior, rector of the church, then abroad, and it is hardly worth 20l.
in these days, at which the archbishop has taxed it, as he has certified in
chancery. |

port, and Matthew besought the king to transfer that grant to Tidemannus
