214. VALUATION OF LANDS AT HENLEY [1478?]

The purpose of this valuation is not clear, but it may have relation to two suits for trespass which Sir William Stonor, Richard Page, and John Matthew brought against Margaret Fyssher of Henley, widow, and Thomas Pratte of Henley, yeoman, in Trinity Term, 1478 (Coram Rege Roll, 868, m. 43). The dispute with Pratt was as to the possession of Le Boull in the High Street of Henley, which he claimed was his own property. Pratt was accused of having broken the close of the complainants there on 10 May. There was another suit against him at the same time for breaking a close of Sir W. Stonor at Stonor on 1 May (ibid., Roll 869, mm. 48, 77; see also Placita de Banco, Roll 867, m. 253, Trinity 1478). In any case the date of the valua|tion cannot be earlier than 1478, since Stonor is a knight. From Ch. Misc., 37, iv, 27.
