| "Memorandum that John Kyme, George Medley, Richard Reynolds, Robert Palmer, and Fras. Baldewyn were bounden by three obligations to pay for the debt of Averey Rawson to the King's use by every obligation 5,000 marks, at days now all expired," i. e., 10,000l. in all, of which sum they only received 5,000l. They discharged the first payment, 3,333l. 6s. 8d., in full. Ric. Reynolds and Rob. Palmer are to pay, at days given them, 2,666l. 13s. 4d. The King has received, out of Lewis Harpisfelde's house, 513l. Sir Brian Tuke has received of the rest of Kyme's goods, 715l. 15s. 7d. And though the goods of Fras. Bawdwyn, deceased, amounted to little more than 800l., yet towards the 2,000 marks laid to the charge of his executors, viz., Oliver Leder, who has married his daughter, and Ric. Reynolds, it has been arranged that the King shall be paid 1,200l. in 10 yearly instalments; "which is not so long days by four years as the King's grace gave unto the said Reynolds and Palmer." And for this good sureties shall be put in. Debts owing to Kyme arrested to the King's use, 1,012l. 4s. 3d. Total of all these payments, 9,440l. 19s. 10d., which falls short of the obligations by only 559l. 0s. 2d., but exceeds what Kyme and the others received by 4,440l. 19s. 10d. | |

4. Henry VIII. to Sir Richard Riche. |
|
Notwithstanding the King's recent resolution for the continuance of
certain monasteries, and among others that of Stanfeld, Linc., yet finding
much inconvenience would ensue by its preservation, the Commissioners are
now instructed to suppress it entirely, and Riche is to make a lease of the
site and demesne lands to Robert Tyrwitt, one of the esquires of the Body,
and arrange with him for the purchase of the stock and moveable goods.
For the reception of the religious who shall be put out of Stanfeld, Riche is
to take a fine of 900 marks of the monastery of Stixwold, Linc. dioc.,
reserving to the King's use lands to the value of 34l. 10s. 7d. a year only,
and according to the former determination put out all the religious there
resident and let those of Stanfeld take their places, letting the monastery of
Stixwold stand after this translation. Monastery of Chersee, 12 Aug.
Signed. P. 1. Add.: Sir Richard Riche, Chancellor of our Court of Augmentation. |
