Content description
The official of the court of Canterbury to the dean of Brisele [Brisley] in the diocese of Norwich. He had been informed by brother John, prior of Sporle, that he and his priory have been accustomed to receive two parts of all the tithes from the demesne lands of the hall or manor of Milham, and of the places called the new assart and the old assart of the said manor, and of the land called the new garden, but fearing that their possession and right may be challenged they have appealed to the apostolic see and the archbishop's court. For one John le Mareschal, pretending himself to be rector of the church of Milham, and Richard Litht in ye mor and Henry de Schotesham have despoiled him of these tithes. Wherefore the dean is to prohibit the said John, Richard and Henry, from attempting anything to the prejudice of the said prior during the hearing of this appeal, and is to summon them to appear in the church of the Blessed Mary of Aldermaricherch in London on the next law day after the feast of St John the Baptist.
