Description
The top of the document is badly damaged and the text cannot be read. It is possibly a citation from the locum tenens [John Barnston] and the Chapter to all prebendaries admonishing them to pay the fifth part of their prebend towards repairing the Cathedral or face excommunication. In the left hand margin is written (translation of the Latin) 'before the Dean, Dr Thorn[?borough], Dr Barnston, Dr Seward and Dr Curl [Curle]' 'on behalf of the Cantor'. Signed by W[illiam] Colet registrar.
