Indenture referring to the settlement of a dispute. (Part of the text is obscured by staining). A[dam] dean of Salisbury and the Chapter announce that a dispute arose between Peter Pikot [Picot] canon of the Cathedral and Godefride [Godfrey] son of Osbert of Wereminster [Warminster] and Agnes his wife [who was daughter of] Simon 'Carpentarii' [the carpenter] concerning a virgate of land in Warminster with its appurtenances, which the forementioned Peter said belonged to his prebend of Warminster, whilst Godfrey and Agnes maintained otherwise, (words missing) [because/that they owed for the said land] the annual rent of one pound of pepper. At last an amicable settlement was made thus: the said Godfrey and Agnes [words missing] recognising the right of the said prebend would return to the said canon a third of the said virgate of land with all its appurtenances for him and its successors, whilst the canon granted to the said Godfrey and Agnes that they and their heirs would hold two parts of the said virgate of land with [?its profits] and all its appurtenances, and they would [?pay] two shillings to Peter and his successors at the four terms of the year. 'Teste capitulo' is written in a larger hand at the bottom.
