Confirmation of two charters. First a confirmation of the charter of Bartholomew de Turberville, in which he granted tithes at Winterburne Turberville to Robert de Lexinton (PR/IL/3), and secondly of a charter in which Robert de Lexinton, canon of the prebend of Cerministre [Cherminster] and Bere, in return for the tithes of Winterburne Turberville endowed by Bartholomew de Turberville, grants de Turberville a chantry with parochial rights in his chapel of Winterburne Turberville, for his wife, free household and guests, with his own chaplain, to be maintained at his own expense saving the rights of the church of Bere. de Lexinton also grants that if his wife or any free women of his household gives birth, then they could be purified in the chapel and the oblations would go to the chaplain. Sealed with de Lexinton's seal. The witnesses for both charters were William abbot of Cerne, H[enry de Lexington] treasurer at Sarum, Robert de Notingham, Richard chaplain parson of Tanewrth, William de Suwelle, John de Dorcestre chaplain, John de Ripariis, Robert de Cheselburne, Walter de Musters, etc. The Bishop confirms these charters and seals the confirmation with his seal, with one copy remaining in the Treasury of Salisbury and the other with said knight. The witnesses were W de la Wile, P de Cumbe, G de Bedeford canons of Salisbury, R de Wichamtone, W de Castellis clerks. Given at Pottern, in the 14th year of his episcopate.
