To the taxers and collectors in co. Kent of the tenth and fifteenth granted
in the last parliament held at Westminster. Order to supersede the
demand made upon the master and brethren of the hospital of Newark
(Novi operis), St. Mary, Strode, for that tenth and fifteenth until the
rendering of their next account, so that in the meantime the king may
cause what seems fitting to the council to be done, as the master and
brethren have shown the king that although the hospital was founded for
all infirm poor resorting thither until they should be healed of their
infirmities and for maintaining divers chantries and other alms, it is so
slenderly endowed that its goods hardly suffice for the maintenance of the
master and brethren and for the said alms and other charges, and if it is
charged with the aids granted by the community of the realm, it will
behove the master and brethren to diminish the said alms, yet the taxers
and collectors distrain them to pay the tenth and fifteenth, whereupon the
master and brethren have besought the king to deal graciously with them
in the matter. By C. |

Exemplification of a process held in chancery between the king and the
prior of Tykford upon the church of Cosham. The king ordered the sheriff
of Wilts by writ dated at Westminster on 25 October in the 18th year of
the reign in these words: Whereas the king lately committed to Adam de
Neubold, the king's clerk, the administration of all the fruits and issues of
Cosham church, diocese of Salisbury, which is of the alien abbey of
Marmoutier (majoris monasterii), Tours, and which was in the king's hand
by reason of the war with France, to hold during pleasure with all its
appurtenances, and now the king has learned from Adam that the prior of
Tykford, an alien, to whom the king committed the priory for rendering a
certain ferm yearly during the said war, claims that the church is parcel of
the priory and ought to pertain to him, although the church is not parcel
of the priory, as is said, as the prior occupies the church, the king ordered
the sheriff to cause the prior to be before the chancery fifteen days from
Hilary to show cause why that church should not be taken into the king's
hand and delivered to Adam to hold in accordance with the commission
thereof to him, and the sheriff returned in chancery that he so notified the
prior by John Prat and John le Clerk, and the prior came on that day and
says that the priory is a cell of the abbey of Marmoutier, in France, and he
is amovable at the will of the abbot there, and Pope Alexander III by a bull
which he exhibited in the court, confirmed to the abbot and brethren there
several benefices in England pertaining to the obedientiarii of Neuport, in
whose limits the priory of Tykford is situated, and the said church is
mentioned as annexed to the priory in that bull, and the prior says that his
priory was taken into the king's hand among the houses of the alien
religious by reason of the war with France, and he holds it at ferm by the
king's commission, and the said church is of the appurtenances of the priory,
and he does not understand that the king can separate the church from
the priory and commit it to another; and Adam, who sues for the king,
says that the priory was taken into the hand of Edward I in the 23rd year
of his reign, and that the keeper of that house then rendered 60l. for the
same to him as ferm and 40s. for apportum, and answer was made to the
king yearly for the said ferm and apportum until the 30th year of that
reign, and that Master John de Lacy, fermor of that church, which he held
of the abbot of Marmoutier, rendered to that king for subsidy and rent for
that 23rd year 25 marks, and answer was made for that sum yearly to the
king by the said fermor and by the proctor of the abbot until the 31st year
of that reign, before the houses of the alien religious were restored and upon
this he showed a certificate of the treasurer and barons of the exchequer,
by which it was found that the said priory was one by itself in the time of
Edward I and the church was one by itself, and he seeks that it may be
taken into the king's hand; and the prior says it is not found that that
king ever had the ferm of the church except at the time when the
possessions of the alien religious were in his hand, and then the church
was demised to John for rendering 25 marks yearly, by which demise and the
king's possession it is not proved that the church is not parcel of the priory,
and he is ready to prove that it is parcel of the priory and has been from
time out of mind, and it is not annexed to the abbey except as such, and
Adam says that by the certificate it is found that at the time of the said
taking the church belonged to the abbey and John held it of the abbot, and
answer was made as aforesaid for ferm and apportum, extended at 78l.
13s. 4d. and now the prior only renders 33l. 6s. 8d. for the ferm of the
priory yearly which ferm exceeds a third part of the 78l. 13s. 4d.; and by
another certificate under the exchequer seal it is found that the church is
of the abbot of Marmoutier Tours and is taxed by itself at 40 marks and
the tenth thereof 53s. 4d. and so it is clear that it is not parcel of the priory
but a distinct entity annexed to the abbey, that the prior unjustly occupied
it under colour of the said ferm of 50 marks, and he seeks judgment if the
prior ought to be admitted to verification against the certificate, and
he also seeks that the prior be charged with the entire ferm and
apportum of 78l. for the priory and 25 marks yearly for the church
from the time of the taking thereof, and that the church be taken into the
king's hands; and the said certificates having been examined and discussed,
it seemed to the justices that it was clear that the church is annexed to the
said abbey and the ferm thereof was not contained in the 62l. yearly for
which answer was made to Edward I for the priory, and it cannot be
understood that the ferm of the church is included in the ferm of 50 marks
which the prior now renders yearly to the king for the priory, wherefore it
is considered that the church be taken into the king's hand and that answer
be made to him for the fruits and issues thereof from the time of the taking
of the houses of the alien religous and henceforth, so long as those houses
remain in his hand. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to direct the taxers
and collectors of the tenth and fifteenth in co. Hertford to supersede the
demand made by them upon the prioress and nuns of Chesthunte for the
tenth and fifteenth until the rendering of their next account at the exchequer
so that in the meantime the king may be able to do for the prioress and
nuns what shall seem fitting to the council, as the prioress and nuns have
shown the king that although their house is so slenderly endowed that its
goods hardly suffice for their maintenance, unless they are aided by the
alms of the faithful, and the house, on account of its poverty, has not been
assessed or taxed for any tenth or other quota granted to the king in times
past by the clergy or laity of the realm, yet the said taxers and collectors
distrain them to pay that tenth and fifteenth, whereupon they have
besought the king to provide a remedy. By C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
process held before them in the exchequer for taking into the king's
hands the priory of Abberbury together with the lands, goods and chattels
pertaining thereto, as the priory was taken into the king's hand among the
possessions of the alien religious of the power of France, and afterwards on
13 August last, in consideration of its poverty, the king ordered John de
Aston, sheriff of Salop and escheator there, to deliver the priory and its
possessions to the prior, except the knights' fees and advowsons, and by the
certificate of the treasurer and barons it appears that it is not found by
inspection of the chancery rolls that the prior is an alien, or that the priory
has ever been taken into the king's hand by reason of war with France
on account of the poverty of the house, and by an inquisition taken by the
escheator it is found that the prior is not of the lordship of the king of
France but of the king of England and he is datif at will of Fulc son
of Waryn, lord of Whytinton, patron of the priory, and that the lands and
rents pertaining to the priory which the prior holds for his own uses are
worth 41s. 2d. yearly and the church is worth 20 marks yearly, and the
prior has there divers animals price 9l. 6s. and he has no other lands or
benefices, goods or chattels in that county which can be extended or
appraised, and that the said possessions do not suffice for the maintenance
of the prior and six brethren and their serjeants. |
