Accounts of two Chapter meetings, the first on Thursday 13 Sep 1621 in the Chapter House before John Barnston locum tenens [of the Dean], Walter Curll [Curle], John Lee canon residentiary and Henry [Good] prebendary of Yatminster [Yetminster Prima] in the presence of William Colet public notary. John Cooth appeared and presented letters [patent] of the King together with the mandate of the Archbishop of Canterbury for his installation to the prebend of Grimston and Yeatminster [Yetminster], and assigned Smigergill [Smegergill], Smith and [Clun] for his installation. The next part is illegible but there is a list of names, who are possibly the witnesses, including Thomas Shuter public notary. The next account is also illegible in places; I have indicated uncertainties with square brackets. It records that on [04] Sep 1621 at the round table in a [house on the north] of the Cathedral at about 5pm John Barnston locum tenens of the Dean, William Osberne [Osborne], Henry Seward, Walter Curl [Curle] and John Lee canons residentiary capitularly assembled and discussed the admission of Mr Lee to the canonical houses in which Dr [William] Tooker recently resided within the Close of the Canons, at the request of Mr Lee. They assigned Dr Osborne and Dr Seward for the handing over of the property. On the next day around 8am Dr Osborne and Dr Seward handed it over in the presence of Mr John Lawe and William Collet [Colet] public notaries and Andrew Hilliard.
