Grant to Robert de Luffenham

3 Dec 1334

1 sheet

This item is faded and difficult to read. It appears to be an indenture whereby the locum tenens of the Dean and Chapter grants to their fellow canon Robert de Luffenham archdeacon and canon of Sarum, of the church of Weremynyster [Warminster], powers associated with the commons of the canons (this part is faded - the paper catalogue suggests 'grant...for the augmentation of the commons of the canons'), ?grazing it and paying yearly 50 [?marks] sterling. The said Master Robert was bound to maintain the buildings/houses (domos) of the said church of Warminster, the walls and close, at his own expense in as good a condition as they were received. Seals belonging to the archdeacon and Chapter were appended (?the seal of the archdeacon was appended to the part of the indenture remaining in the possession of the Chapter and the seal of the Chapter was appended to the part remaining in the possession of the archdeacon). Given at Sarum in the Chapter House.
