Thus seised, John Assheton , William Sewell , Edward Sucwusser , John Grymbold , John Aylesmere , William Serjaunt , and Thomas Turnour, chaplain , afterwards quitclaimed for them and their heirs by deed, dated on 31 December 1432 and shown to the jurors, all right and claim that they had or could have in the above manors, lands, tenements, and rents to John Gryffon and William Aldewyncle , and their heirs and assigns. By so doing they excluded themselves, their heirs, and anyone acting in their name from laying any legal claim in future to the manors, lands, tenements, rents, and services. The manors etc. were described as the manors of Mill Cotes, Ringstead, and Denford, and each and every of the lands, tenements, rents, and services that John, William, Edward, John, John, William, and Thomas had lately held jointly with John Gryffon and William Aldewyncle by enfeoffment of Richard Chamberleyn . John Gryffon and William Aldewyncle were thus seised in demesne as of fee and continued in their estate for all the life of Richard, and yet so continue.
