Summary

Folios 117r–128v contain deeds relating to Jewyn Garden. At the top of f. 117r is written in red ink “Jewyn Gardyn”, and the following versos 117v–121v have “Jewen” or “Jewyn”, and all the rectos up to f. 128r have “Gardyn”; the versos 122v–128v have no red-ink heading (which is odd).

A new hand starts here – this property indeed came to the Goldsmiths Mistery at a later date.

Grant by Richard son of Gilbert Le Bas to Elias son of Master Moses [n.d. (1256–57)] May those present and future know that I, Richard, son of Gilbert Le Bas, have given, granted and by this present deed of mine have confirmed to Elias, son of Master Moses, Jew, at the time principal appointed warden in charge of the cemetery of the whole community of Jews in London, all my land with houses built upon it which I had in the parish of St Giles without Cripplegate, between the land of Master John Rosemunde towards the north and the lane leading to the said cemetery towards the south, and the king’s road4 towards the east and that same cemetery towards the west. i.e. all that I had or could have had lengthwise and breadthwise and in all things with all their appurtenances, in full and without any retention. To have and to hold by the said Elias and his successors appointed to the said office of the cemetery, from me and my heirs, in fee and in inheritance, freely and quit, well and in peace, in perpetuity. Paying annually to me and to my heirs one penny at Easter for all services, exactions and all things, without any pretext against, saving always the service due and accustomed to the chief lords of that fee, i.e. twenty pence per year to the dean of St Paul’s London and his successors, at the four principal terms, i.e. five pence at each term, for all services which the said Elias and his successors are due to pay for me and my heirs.
