(No. c.) 3 The missing words have been cut off at the foot of the folio. 4 Adam de Herewynton was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, 17 March, 1324. He was commissioned by the King, together with Hugh Foliot, Bishop of Hereford, and Sir Henry de Clifford, to re-open Parliament in 1329. In 1327, he had licence to give to the priory of S. Bartholomew of Smithfield, land and rent in Acton to provide for his anniversary.

He was sent to London in 1316, with Roger le Brabazon and others of the King's council, to negotiate a loan from the city for provision for the war with Scotland. In 1317 he had a bond from John de Yerdhill payable from lands in Northumberland. He was prebendary of Hustwhait, in York Cathedral; a priest of this name was parson, in 1317, of the church of Enemethe, and in 1320, of the church of Northcreyk, both in Norfolk. Letters of protection for a year were granted to Hervey de Staunton, parson of the church of Est Derham, 11 February, 1329. His will, dated 26 August, 1327, and proved on Monday next before the Feast of S. Mathias (17 February), 1327, directed that his property in the city of London, consisting of a messuage in the parish of S. Agnes within Aldresgate, and the reversion of certain shops, should be sold. He must have died not long after making his will, for 2 December, 1327, the treasurer was ordered to make prompt payment to his executors for 8001. of his money taken by the King from the abbey of S. Edmund, when he and his mother arrived from France. Hervey was buried in the church of S. Michael, at Cambridge, to which he had received license to alienate the advowson of the church of Barenton; he died before this license was carried out, and it was renewed to his kinsman and heir, Alexander de Walsham. (Calendars W of Patent and Close Rolls; Calendar of London Wills, i., p. 343; Foss, Lives of the Judges.) 2 The parish church of SS. Anne and Agnes within Aldersgate, also called S. Anne in the Willows, was burnt down in 1548, rebuilt after seventy years, and again burnt in the Fire of London. The advowson belonged to S. Martin le Grand. 3 Icklingham, in Suffolk; Sacomb, in Hertfordshire. 4 Christ's Hospital afterwards stood on the site of the house of the Grey Friars. Their church, which was very large and beautiful, was consecrated in 1225, and at the Dissolution was made the parish church of several small parishes then united. It was burnt in the Fire, and the present Christchurch was built by Wren. S. Martin's Lane was little used as a thoroughfare, as is shown by the following ordinance of 1310 :-" And if perchance it shall happen that any tailor has so much to do, that by reason of the great press of business for our lord the King, or for some other great lord, he is obliged to scour furs by day, then let him scour them in some dead lane, such as behind St. Martin's Le Grand, or near the London Wall, where no great lords are passing, either going or coming; and whereby no dispute may arise." (Memorials of London and London Life, H. T. Riley (1868), p. 77.) The messuage was sold by Gilbert de Bruera to Henry de Percy in 1343. (No. DCCCXLVIII.)
