Content description
Thomas Aynscombe, Mayfield, to Sir Henry Savill, knight. Since his return from Eton last August he has been ill and unable to attend to Warningcampe business. The cause has therefore been deferred by the High Commission, and is now to be heard this Easter term at Chichester. Asks that he or some other of the fellows should attend with the College evidences. He undertands from some Warningecampe men that they intend to prove Warningecampe a parish of itself, as they choose churchwardens, but he thinks that will be disproved as Warningecampe has no churchyard. If it has been an ancient parish, he thinks this would appear in the ancient writings of the College, and that before the endowment of the vicar, as he remembers, a deed of R.2, bishop of Chichester, dated 1248, he thinks will prove it, or of Seffridus, bishop before that. If they will peruse the patent of the king who gave Warningecampe to the College, they should find whether it is a parish of chapel of ease.
