Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with third page of 1558 will please

Hi Geoff,
I have only just registered with RootsChat and am finding my way around. I am descended from Aburrows (Abarrowes) in the Petersfield area of Hampshire and was interested in your comments about Henry Abarrow.
I have a copy of Maud Abarrow's will of 1517 in which she is described as Henry's widow. What is the source of your information about Henry being Mayor of Petersfield? I hadn't come across that before.
You mention that William Radford is an executor of her will and give him as 'of North Charford'. I know that the Abarrows were long established at North Charford but I think the wording in Maud's will gives William Radford as parson of Clanfyld (Clanfield just south of Petersfield).
Any help gratefully received.
