Description
Most of this document has been crossed out. Account of a Chapter meeting in the house of Dr [Walter] Curll [Curle] Dean of Lichfield [possibly in the Close] on Thursday 17 May 1621 between 4 and 5pm in the presence of William Colet public notary with John Barnston locum tenens of the Dean, Henry Seward and Walter Curle canons residentiary. John Lee appeared prebendary of Alton Pancras (Australis) and canon residentiary to take corporeal possession of the [canonical house] of Dr Tooker (the name is given, and looks like Leaden Hall) [which was vacant after his death - but according to Lack Tooker died in March 1622]. The last part states that possession was handed over in the presence of William Colet, Ralph Townrow, Henry Seward, Alexander B[owsher] and other witnesses. On the back is a note confirming the receipt for subsidies owed to King James.
