Content description
1. William Westbury, Provost of Eton College.
2. John Paulet esq.
Dispute having arisen between the parties over the patronage of the priory of Sherborne, Paulet releases any right to it to the College. This release is made so that he may be 'recompensed as it shall please the King's highness after the information of the said provost'.
Westbury claims a rent of 13s 4d from Paulet's manor of Basing in the right of the said priory and Paulet claims 13s 4d from the priory for tithes for the demesne lands of the manor of Basing. The parties agree to refrain from claiming or distraining for these rents until a 'sufficient and lawful' discharge may be made.
This appears to be a draft or perhaps simply a note of points agreed; it is not dated or sealed and the parties have not signed although the text specifically mentions that they have done so. The next items are the formal agreements covering the two disputes and receipts for payments.
The document has suffered rodent damage and water staining.
