279. THE VICAR OF ERMINGTON AND OTHERS TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR 16 DEC. [? 1480]

The date cannot be earlier than 1478. If, as is possible, the vacancy in the Chantry is the same as the one referred to in No. 281, it will be 1480. The vicar of Ermington is in that case John Edgcombe, see No. 286. For the sequel see No. 291. The chantry was possibly in the Chapel of St. Mary in the churchyard, the presentation to which belonged to the Stonors, see vol. i, p. xiv. From A.C., xlvi, 155.
