1 Thomas de Cumbehaweye 2 Alexander le Teyntur From 1 to 2 Whereas I have given and granted to Alexander le Teyntur (Dyer), and to his heirs, and to his assigns, for ever, the 6 pence of rent, which were wont to be paid me yearly, at two terms, that is to say, at the Feast of the Nativity of out Lord and at the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, in equal parts, for a tenement with a cartilage and its appurtenances which you hold of me for the term of your lives in the suburb of the City of Bath, in the street that is called "Walecotestrete," as is fully contained in an indenture their son made between you and me, and therefore I have granted that the reversion of the aforesaid tenement, with the curtilage and its appurtenances, after the term of your lives, shall remain to the said Alexander and to his heirs, and to his assigns, for ever. I do therefore command you that, for the said rent and for all other services, you be from hence-forth obedient and answering unto the said Alexander and to his heirs and assigns, as before unto me you were accustomed to be.
