| Description | Anthony Wright to John Manners of Haddon. Wright's friend, Mr. Rolland Eire, asks 'whether one parcell of grownd called the Brekes lately inclosed out of some part of the waste belonging and parcell of the manor of Hassopp was not to be excepted as severall and inclosed ground when the book[?] that passed between Mr. Clyfford and the Tennants of Hassoppe was broght to me to allow of, yea or nay. Trewly I oure thought to have excepted that ground by speciall name in there purchase and had good Remembraunce to have so done though I was then in grete payne and yet in themb knowing that I might except the same breke and all inclosed improvements in general words did use generall words as may appear by there book[?] and therfor the breke being inclosed at the time of the agrement between Mr. Clyfforde and the tennants of Hassop me thinks it ought not now to come in question. Mr. Clyfford did of his woship that few men would have done to there tennants to grant them common when they had none by law before, wherefore I wold wish therin contented, for if I should be deposed I must depose that I told them that the Improvement called Brekes was to be for the Lord his use And that Hassop is a manor and was in King Henry the sixth his dayes. Mr. George Allen of Stanton and Mr. Columbell or thone of them can shew your worship who saw and I think copied an old Court Roll amongst others of a court kept at Hassop in that tyme.' Apologises for the bad writing as he is 'scribinge upon my knee sett upon the grownd where the Lord Darse and others now traversinge and appoyntyng soldiers. And so humbly reast.' Rotheram More, the last of May, 1588. |
