Summary

Folios 149v–184r contain documents relating to property in Cheapside.

This section starts, most oddly, at the foot of the last page of the previous section, and is given a red-ink heading there of “Pattesley – Chepe”. Thereafter the verso pages have the red-ink heading “Pattesley” and the recto pages “Chepe”.

Agreement between Hugh de Rokyngham and Henry fitz Stephen [January 1272]

This is the agreement made between Hugh de Rokyngham, goldsmith of London, [f. 150r] on the one hand and Henry fitzStephen on the other hand, i.e. that whereas the same Henry had given and granted to the same Hugh a certain cellar of his in the parish of St Matthew Friday Street, London, that was under his hall which Walter Le Waleys held from the same Henry for a term of years, and under three shops towards the market of West Cheap, this for two marks per year paid to the same Henry and his heirs or assigns annually at the four principal terms of the year, as is set out more fully in a deed of feoffment drawn up concerning this. Yet however it is agreed between the aforesaid parties as follows, i.e. that the said Hugh and his heirs or assigns shall maintain at his own costs the walls within which the said cellar is contained and the joists of the same cellar to be as big as when he found them and this in perpetuity, thus that the house of the same Henry built above it shall not come to any harm through any fault in such aforesaid maintenance by which the same Henry or his heirs or assigns could incur any losses or expenses. And further, the same Hugh wishes and grants for himself and his heirs and assigns that the same Henry and his heirs or assigns may without any gainsaying legally enter into the said cellar and take distraints in it and keep these distraints as often as the same Hugh and his heirs or assigns should cease payment, when reminded of this, of the said two marks at the due terms.
