Description: 1 Robert de Wyke, clerk, son of William de Wyke, clerk
Since I have understood by the relation of many trustworthy persons of the City and hundred of Bath Foreign that the said William, my father, granted to the Mayor and Commonalty of Bath, for ever, an annual rent of 13s 4d, at the four terms there usual, to be taken from his tenement outside the Northgate, which John de Wyke, clerk, William's brother, acquired, raised, and afterwards inhabited, and which tenement is situate between the tenement which John Gregory holds, on the north, and that which Juliana de Wyke held near Froggelane, on the south, which gift and grant to the Mayor and Commonalty of Bath freely made by my father I confirm for my heirs for ever. If any of the rent be in arrear for three months it shall be lawful for the Mayor and Commonalty to distrain for the same.
