It was found that he had accounted well and faithfully and had exonerated the nuns of £45 9s 8d in money and of 4 quarters 2½ bushels of corn and 3 quarters 7 bushels of barley in which they were indebted towards divers creditros, and furthermore spent £13 5s 3d in the making of a new hall with chambers and offices. And he will be held to aquit the nuns towards any persons who make any claim upon them in respect of any items contained in any account of his. It was objected by the assessors that one William Woderove who under the said vicar administered divers goods of the nuns and did so less well, to their inconvenience and loss. By his corporal oath the vicar bound himself to the restitution of the said loss.
