Details of SC 8/274/13700
Reference: SC 8/274/13700
Description:
Petitioners: Abbess and convent of the house of Barking.
Addressees: King.
Nature of request: The abbess and convent request that they may appropriate certain of their churches to sustain them as their lands have been inundated by the sea, their animals have murrain and their house has burnt.
Nature of endorsement: They should name the churches and have a writ ad quod damnum, and when the inquisition is returned they should sue to the king to have grace on this, or before the chancellor and treasurer to do this.
Places mentioned: Barking, [Essex].
Note: The petition possibly dates to 1315 as a licence for the appropriation of a church belonging to the petitioners was granted on 22 October 1315 (CPR 1313-17, p.363). However the guard note on the dorse of the petition suggests that the petition may be earlier and the hand suggests a date in the last two decades of the thirteenth century. A date range of 1285-1315 has been adopted.
Date: [1285-1315]
