By an inquisition lately taken by John Waldeshef aud Roger Chartres it bas been found that the bridge of Huntyngdon is in a ruinous state, in many places broken through and at one part threatening to fall, and that divers legscies bequeathed in the past for the support of the bridge, for want of a keeper of the same, have not yet been used for the purpose. The king therefore appoints Philip de Ravele, chaplain, as keeper of the bridge, to receive the aforesaid legacies from the executors of the testators, with other offerings hereafter to be bequeathed or made out of charity for repair ef the bridge, to apply the same.to that purpose, and out of any surplus which may remain to build a chapel on the bridge in honour of St. Thomas the Martyr and St. Katherine the Virgin, wherein a chaplain, to be found out of the alms of those coming to the bridge, shall daily celebrate divine service for the faithful departed.
