TRANSLATION
Know now and in the future that I, Ralph, son of Robert, fisherman, of Steynestoll, grant and entirely quitclaim to Hugh Barfot [?Barfoot], in free marriage with Avice, my sister, all my right and claim that I had or could have in all that land of Calc, with appurtenances, whence Robert, my father, gave to Avice: To Have and To Hold to the said Hugh and Avice, my sister, and their heirs of the aforesaid Avice yet to come, freely, quietly, peacefully and completely, forever; namely, that neither I, Ralph, nor any of my heirs could make any past demand or claim on the said land. If the aforesaid Avice herself should die without heirs, then the aforesaid Hugh will hold the aforenamed land for as long as he lives. For this grant and quitclaim the aforesaid Hugh gave twenty silver shillings. I grant, quitclaim and by this my charter confirm (this to be) a valid agreement and stamp my seal on this present writing.
These (being) witnesses: Engelard de Curson, John [?]Marchant de Tykenhale, Robert Otuer of the same place, Geoffery Wymod, Robert de Sphobenhale and others.
