Dunster, Somerset: Petition
Item
This may be a stray into Stogursey documents; the Prior of Stogursey had a pension from Wootton Courtney in Dunster deanery. The College had no connection with the parish.
[early 15th century]
Petition of Robert Vyse, monk of Bath, to the Bishop of Bath and Wells. As prior of the church of St George of Dunster, he has the right to present monks to the cell there, and the Prior of Bath can remove them. John Henton, a monk of the order, refuses to return to Bath in spite of repeated admonitions and Vyse appeals to the Bishop to order Henton to return, to prevent the lay patron from supporting him, and restore the profits of the cell.
