Note A.—There is no evidence of Folesham having acted as an Alderman between March, 1335 and December, 1336, and inasmuch as both his predecessor in Broad Street (Hauteyn) and his successor in Langbourn (Fraunceis) were present at an unusually full Court of Aldermen on July 22, 1336, it seems evident that during a portion of that interval he ceased to be a member of the Aldermanic body.
