Folios 45r–49v contain deeds relating to property in Friday Street. The red-ink heading at the top of f. 45r translates as “Friday Street: the Horse – acquired from the heirs of Simon de Berkyng”. The verso pages thereafter have a red-ink heading at the top of “Fryday” while the rectos have “strete”, but there is no red-ink heading to f. 49v.
