Description
Much of the writing is obscured by stains or is too faded to make out. It appears to be a nomination by William Tooker canon residentiary [and President of the Chapter] and the Chapter there of Giles Thornburgh [Thornborough], John Barnston and Henry Seward canons residentiary as commissaries and delegates for the exercising of decanal jurisdiction during the visitation on account of his ill-health, since the deanery was vacant due to the natural death of [John] Gordon the last Dean [?who died] on 03 Sep. Given in the Chapter House. This item is quite similar to DA/1/5/38.
