Content description

Richard Goldsmyth of Chichester and Isabella his wife bound to Thomas Barker, clerk, and Elena Salmon in the sum of £20. Condition: Thomas and Elena to have peaceful possession of a tenement and garden situated in the southern suburb of Chichester between the tenement formerly Walter Love's and now William Marlot to the south and the watercourse called le Lavante to the north. This tenement was granted to them by Richard and Isabella by a deed of 20 July.
Tag with two seals (both incomplete) 18 Edward IV.

Thomas Barker (d. 1489) was a fellow of Eton from 1445 - 1461 and 1467 - 1471 and for much of that time Vice-Provost. In 1475 he was elected a Canon of Chichester which presumably accounts for the presence of this document, as Eton did not, as far as is known, own property in Chichester.
