12th-14th century

1 sheet

This item records a dispute between John Abbot of St Augustine of Bristol and the convent there, and John de Kenovill canon of Salisbury, about the church of Wappel and a hide of land in Sudwike, which the said John claimed to belong to his prebend of Betton [Bitton]. The Abbot and convent agreed to pay one silver mark to the church of Bitton forever. In this way the church or rector could demand nothing more in the church of Wappel [?Wapley] and the said hide. The witnesses were William Abbot of Cainesham, Robert Archdeacon, Geoffrey Marmiun, Robert de [...], Jordan de Bonevill etc. Part of the text is obscured by staining. A transcription of this item may be found in Ellacombe, H T, The History of the Parish of Bitton, in the County of Gloucester (1881).
