Please can you confirm that  this one says William de Ros granted land to Kirkham priory... Adam de Dugelby witness.

William de Ros ... to the church of the Holy Trinity of Kirkeham and the canons serving God there ... 6 bovates of land with tofts and crofts [etc.] ... in Barton, which the canons hold from the gift of William of Barton. Also 12 bovates of land [etc.] ... in Kirkeby Crandale, from the gift of Walter de Wildeker.

Adam de Dugelby is among the witnesses.

The dating clause shows ‘the day before the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross 1253’ (= 13 September). The year 1253 is also in the margin.

This on Kirkeby Crandale ...

thank you all so much!

You have saved me a fortune in translation fees and taught me how to read a little latin in the process.

kind regards
