Final concord in the court at Wilton, on the quindene of Easter, in the 20th year of King Henry III, before Walter abbot of Hyda, John abbot of Malmesbu[ry], Robert de Lex', Robert de Belloca[m]po and Jordan Oliver justices itinerant etc. Between Ralph de Willington and Olimpias his wife plaintiffs, and Robert Bishop of Sarum defendant, concerning the common of pasturage in the Bishop's wood of Horwood. The Bishop grants to Ralph, Olimpias and the heirs of said Olimpias common of herbage in the whole wood of Horwood, with the exception of Tunegrave, Chirchegrave, and Grummesgrave for flocks and cattle, and for pigs. Details of this are given. The Bishop also grants the tenants of Ralph and Olimpias in the east part of Wimpling the common of herbage. If the pigs of the Bishop's tenants of Horton are found in the wood of Mapild[.] [?under specified conditions], fines are due. Ralph and Olimpias grant to the Bishop similar rights of common of herbage in their wood of Mapild[.], with rights for the Bishop's tenants of Horton. And if the pigs of Ralph and Olimpias' tenants are found in the wood of Horwood, they would have to pay fines. Ralph and Olimpias quitclaimed for themselves and for Olimpias' heirs to the Bishop and his successors and the church of Sarum all their right in clearings and closes made before this agreement by the said Bishop, his predecessors or tenants in the said wood of Horwood. The Bishop quitclaims to Ralph and Olimpias and Olimpias' heirs his right in all clearings and closes made before this agreement by the said Ralph and Olimpias in the wood of Mapild[.]. Both parties agreed that they would only clear land in the said woods by common consent, saving to the Bishop and his successors the groves of Tunegrave, Chirchegrave and Grummesgrave. And both parties agreed not to ?overclear ('superadgista') either of the two woods. '148' is written at the bottom.
