Content description
Statement by John, Archdeacon of Chichester, that in the parish church of Clymping, of which he was making a visitation on Friday after All Saints (4 Nov) 1334 there appeared the parishioners, of one part, and sir Robert, rector of the church of Parham, proctor of the prioress and nuns of Lunemenstr', who possess the church of Clympyng to their own uses. The parishioners claimed a vestment for the altar of the Blessed Mary from the nuns, but produced no witnesses to support their case. The proctor of the nuns said that they had no obligation to provide the vestment, but out of pure liberality and with no prejudice to their successors would do so. The Archdeacon condemns the nuns to find the vestment on their own terms.
