TitleGift and quitclaim with warranty by Serlo son of Ralph de Mountjoy lord of Yeldersley]to Mathew of Little Longstone and his heirs of all manner of ingress and egress between a certain furlong called Coc [The Cock] and a certain toft which belonged to Matilda daughter of Agnes of Little Longstone, which she used, wrongfully having regard to inheritance but with the leave and sufferance of neighbours, and especially of all passages, ways, paths and strayings at the head of the eastern side of Coc furlong, so that they should not be used at any time of the year in the way in which it is common to walk in the fields, meadows and other places where it is necessary to cross and return. The gift and quitclaim are made for the ending of contention and strife and for avoiding doubts that could arise, after the consideration of upright and worthy men making their statement on oath, lest Mathew and his heirs should be damaged by calumny; so that neither Serlo nor his heirs not his men nor any other should claim way, path, or right of way at any time of year; because there is no highway of common ingress into the vill of Little Longstone, or egress by the south over meadows and fields for wagons and carriages for men except the road stretching to the hill by the house of Robert Loterel of Little Longstone
Witnesses: Richard of Edensor, Adam of Harthill, Robert of Stanton, William Daniel of Tideswell, Henry Peverel of Hassop, Robert of Calver, Eustace of Mornissale [Monsal Dale] and others. Undated.
