Memorandum on the part of Robert, archbishop of Canterbury, that in his visitation of the diocese of Norwich it was found that the prior of Sporle receives 6 marks yearly pension from the church of Milham for certain tithes from the demesnes of Milham by what right is not known. Whereupon the said prior appearing before master John de Ros, one of the auditors and correctors of the said visitation, claimed for the payment an agreement made between Guy, prior of Sporle, his predecessor, and Thomas de Verdun, rector of Milham, but ... (hole in document ) .. the said John de Ros suspended the payment. Later, upon an appeal from the prior, which was heard by masters William de Chadeleshunte and Richard de Morcestria, auditors general of the archbishop's court, the pension was restored.
