This set of deeds is not so prolific as others in well-known names, though Will. Donnington (DR0429/38) is mentioned as recorder in the Leet Book. "Novel Disseizin" (DR0429/39) is described by Riley "Liber Albus," as deprivation of the possession of a freehold since the last Eyre or Circuit. Here it is not the actual freehold that the Corpus Christi Guild recover against the Stywards, but a 20s. rent, derived from a tenement in Friar Lane (see DR0429/33 in last week's paper) which was due in 1384 from Joh. Styward to William Hull and Matilda, his wife. The memorandum to 40 B I have printed before, but since it contains an interesting reference to the Lady Chapel (choir-vestry) it will bear repeating
