Provenance
The document is endorsed to the effect that Thomas Thornton, esq., sheriff [of Northampton], "allowed Weedon Beck charter" on 20 April 1656. Another endorsement states that this charter was "brought from Weedon where it happen'd to be produced by a copyholder and was claimed by Steph: Sleech, Bursar, as belonging to ye College, Oct. 12. 1736".
