Order to permit the abbess of Wherewell to cut down in her wood of Harewode, within the bounds of that forest, underwood to the extent of 20 acres, where it may be done to the least damage of the forest, and to permit her to make her profit thereof, on condition that she cause the place thus cleared to be enclosed with a low hedge, so that it shall remain enclosed for four years, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the keeper that it would only be small damage of the king if he granted licence to the abbess to fell underwood as above. To Richard de Holebrok, the king's steward. Order not to molest Robert de Eleford for his homage for the lands that he holds of the king, as the king has taken his homage.
