When felled, each acre is worth 3s. yearly. Of the 20 a., 17 a. were felled, sold, and carted away the year before her death, and are thus worth nothing yearly for the next seven years. The remaining 3 a. will be worth 9s. if felled next year, and then worth nothing yearly for the next eight years. The entire manor is held of the king in chief as ¼ knight’s fee.

When felled, each acre is worth 2s. 6d. yearly. Of the 40 a., 36 a. were felled, sold, and carted away in the year before her death and are thus worth nothing yearly for the next six years. The remaining 4 a. will be worth 10s. in A.D.1432 if cut, but not before, because they were cut in 4 Henry VI [1425] and are thus worth nothing yearly over the following seven years.
