Memorandum of agreement between Robert de Durham (Dunhelmo) clerk, and the monks of Ramesey touching the tithes which Ivo the clerk of Wistow, his predecessor, held to farm of them, and Jocelin de Stiveclai before him, and concerning which he had vexed them, viz. he swore before the chapter of Huntendon to abandon his claim, they on the other hand were to pay him 10 marks yearly by the hand of their prior, whether they had an abbot or not, till such time as they conferred ecclesiastical benefices on him to the value of 30 marks which they were to do as soon as possible; when God gave them an abbot they were to get the arrangement confirmed by him. Witnesses:—William de Cornhill, archdeacon of Huntendon and others (named). Huntingdonshire. Date: [1100-1603]. E 40/8217. The National Archives, Kew Discovery.
