Manor of Henley on the Heath.
To the abbot and convent of Petreburgh. Request to take again any letters patent by them made to John Stokke the king's servant, serjeant at the gate of his household, concerning a corrody in that abbey which he has by grant of the king, to admit to their house the said John and William Stokke the younger, son of the king's said esquire, and minister to them such maintenance as the said John or any other person had therein, making them letters patent under the common seal of the house with mention of what they shall take, and writing again by the bearer what they will do; as the said John is minded to give up his letters to be cancelled, to the end that the king shall grant that corrody to him and the said William, and the king has granted the same to them for their lives and the life of the longest liver.
