[Confirmation of Conveyances]

21 Jul 1380

1 deed

The writing is largely obscured by staining. According to the endorsement it concerns the Abbot and the Convent of St Augustine Bristol. It may be the confirmation of two conveyances. In the first paragraph it appears to refer to churches of Wappel [?Wapley] and Beaton and possibly to a prebendary, John [Godewyke]. The first paragraph is mostly obscured but may be referring to PR/BI/1. The second paragraph is a quitclaim. It involves Robert de [Hanam] to the Cathedral and the church of Betton [Bitton] and John de Canville [?Kenovill] parson, all his right in 3 messuages next to the [cemetery] of the church of Bitton: in the messuage of Thomas Farderel and in the messuage of Robert [...] and in the messuage of S[...] [...], about which a plea arose between Robert [de Hanam] and John de Canvill [?Kenoville] in the King's court. The witnesses were Walter, Stephen and William chaplains, Robert [Boneville] Peter [...], Ralph Joie, Robert de Betton, etc. Dated 21st July 1380, which presumably refers to the confirmation of both conveyances (the first deed is undated). A partial transcription of this item may be found in Ellacombe, H T, The History of the Parish of Bitton, in the County of Gloucester (1881).
