and not of the late king in chief, as was at another time found
by an inquisition taken before Robert Parys late escheator, and

To Thomas Egmanton escheator in Yorkshire. Order to
remove the king's hand from a messuage, fifteen bovates and 3
acres of land in 'Northdalton,' and pasture for 360 sheep at all times
of the year in 'Northdalton' fields, and the issues thereof taken;
as lately it was found by inquisition, taken before William
Hungate late escheator, that Maud queen of England was seised
of the whole town of 'Northdalton,' and gave to the then prior
and convent of Watton and to their successors the messuage and
bovates aforesaid to find a chaplain to celebrate in 'Northdalton'
church for her soul and the souls of her ancestors and of the faithful departed, that her gift was confirmed by King Henry III (sic)
and King Richard I, that the prior and convent did find such
a chaplain until 10 Richard II, since which time they have not,
but have withdrawn that service, that the messuage and land are
worth 5 marks a year beyond reprises, that the said queen likewise
gave them the pasture aforesaid for sheep of their own, upon
condition that they or another in their name should every night
at time of vespers ring a bell in 'Northdalton' church or the
belfry thereof 360 strokes, that such ringing has been withdrawn
for twenty years past, that the pasture is worth 6s. 8d. a year,
that the said queen gave them also the said 3 acres of land to find
a lamp burning continually in 'Northdalton' church, that they
did find such lamp until 6 Richard II, that since then they have
not so done, that the land is worth 18d. a year, and that the now
prior and convent and their predecessors have occupied all the
premises since the withdrawal of those services, taking the issues
and profits, and are to answer for the same to the king, if they
ought to pertain to him; and that inquisition being read, and the
matter understood, it seemed to the justices, serjeants at law and
others of the council learned in the law that the seizure of the
premises is of none effect, wherefore by their advice it was
determined that the king's hand should be removed. |
