Master John Walewayn, escheator beyond Trent. Order not to further with the lands of the abbot of Stonleye, which he took the king's hands because the abbot ceased for two years to find a in the chapel of Wynfreton, and to restore to the abbot any issues by him, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the escheator the abbot is not bound to find such chantry, and that neither he nor predecessors have been wont to find such chantry, and that neither he his predecessors had any land in that town or elsewhere by reason they ought to be bound to find such chaniry.
