Description
To all the faithful of Christ to whom the present writing shall come, John, Prior of the cathedral church of Bath, and the convent of the same place greeting in our Lord. Because we have caused all our hay (haiam) within our manor of the Berton, near Bath, to be sowed in the 19th year of the reign of King Edward the third, we are however unwilling that such our sowing should fall to the disherison of the citizens of Bath, but we will that all rights and customs by which the citizens claim common of pasture in our land aforesaid be saved to the same citizens, notwithstanding our sowing aforesaid for this time.
Dated in our Chapter House, 12 June, 19 Edw. III.
