To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king gave
licence to W. late archbishop of Canterbury to assign the manor of
Caldecotes, which belonged to the archbishopric and was worth 6l. 11s. 8d.
yearly in all issues to the prior and convent of Christ Church, Canterbury,
so that in every voidance of the archbishopric, they should render the true
value of that manor to the king by the hand of the guardian of the temporalities of the archbishopric; and now the king has learned from the plaint
of the prior that although the manor was of the first foundation of the
church of Canterbury and before the 20th year of Edward I, and the other
temporalities of the archbishopric were taxed at a gross sum for the tenths
before the manor was granted to the prior and convent, and the archbishops
have paid that tax as if the manor had been in their hands, and J. the
present archbishop paid the wool on the manor of the second year of the
biennial ninth, as may appear by the accounts of the collectors of the tenths
and wool, yet the sub-collectors of wool in the city of Canterbury exact
wool of the prior for that manor, pretending that it is in the liberty of
the city and was acquired after the said 20th year, without considering that
the manor has always been a parcel of the archbishopric and is not a lay
fee, wherefore the prior has besought the king to provide a remedy: the
king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to inspect the said rolls of
accounts and other rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, and if they find
that the temporalities of the archbishopric were taxed in gross as aforesaid,
and that no diminution has been made by reason of the acquisition of the
manor, and that the archbishop has paid the wool as aforesaid, then to
supersede the demand made on the prior for the portion of wool assessed
upon him by reason of the manor, provided that the portion be levied of
those who ought to be charged therewith. By C. |
