June 12.
Westminster.		 To W. bishop of Worcester. Licence to do what is incumbent upon his office in regard to the admission of a parson to the church of Wynterbourne of his diocese, the king's prohibition notwithstanding; as the king lately by writ forbade him to admit a parson to the said church, which is void it is said, until it should be debated in the king's court whether the presentation pertained to the king or to Agnes who was wife of Thomas de Bradestane; but by search of the king's rolls and memoranda it is not at present found that the right of presentation pertains to the king for this turn.
