I now think Thom(a)s moor is of Skottowe.  Amended above.

Re. snippet 5. As possibilities:

1  Carhow = Carrow Priory is place of nunnery  (Carrow where the Canaries sing?), and Carrow Road is where the Canaries (Norwich City FC) play their home matches.

2  Lestoft = Lowestoft.  I have seen plenty of spelling variations.  And my friend calls is Lowstof.

3  jer..th.. ***  perhaps this is Yarmouth.  There are plenty of Almans in both Lowestoft and Yarmouth (plus other places) around 1500.

Just thoughts.

Houses of Benedictine nuns: The priory of Carrow.
Just for info/background:
Quote
"There was also given to the anchoress of Carrow 40d.
¶This anchoress was a woman of great celebrity, whose religious 'revelations' have been several times published. Though never canonized, she was usually known as Saint Juliana of Norwich. She was termed indifferently the anchoress of Carrow and the anchoress of St. Julian, because her ankerhold was in the churchyard of St. Julian-, Norwich, a church appropriated to the priory. Very possibly she had been a nun of Carrow in her youth."

I'm pretty sure you are right, francoso.

Therefore, I have removed the uncertainty from Jermuthe in the text.

Agreed. In any case, we've already had Carrow in an earlier Aylmer will.

I agree with everyone about Carrow.

Thank you so much!!!

Dame Margaret Parker of Leystoft/Lowestoft - This must be the Margaret Parker that John Strype seems to think is the grandmother of Matthew Parker, Queen Elizabeth's first Archbishop of Canterbury
https://archive.org/stream/historicalcollec00stryuoft#page/n149

Matthew Parker (6 August 1504 – 17 May 1575) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1559 until his death in 1575. He was born in Norwich, in St Saviour's parish, as the eldest son of William Parker and Alice Monins. She may have been related by marriage to Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and - for a short time - Mary I.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Parker

John Strype also speaks of the possibility of John Aylmer, Bishop of London, and Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, being kindred in his biography The Life and Acts of Matthew Parker, the First Archbishop of Canterbury in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth.

I really wish we were researching the Alman family, now, lololol

And I really wish I knew if Margaret Parker was an Aylmer!

Thank you so much again!!! This is really fascinating.

The amount in line 3 has me stumped for the moment.

* Barfoot - easy for him to say.

deryge [?]

From Dirige – first word of the Office of the Dead (Dirige, Domine, Deus meus ... viam meam – Direct my path ... O Lord my God). Hence the English ‘dirge’.

* Barfoot - easy for him to say.

Thanks Bookbox, but my problem wasn't with deryge itself but with the amount to be paid to those poor men women and children who attended.

Looks like ob?
