Nature of request: The bishop of Coventry and Lichfield states that King Edward, the king's father, gave his predecessor, and his successors, the advowsons of Chesterton and Worfield, in exchange for the manor of Greenford, which he gave the king, and that the present king brought a writ of Quare impedit against Roger, that he should allow him to present a suitable parson to the church of Chesterton.
