- (Research):Petitioners: Richard de Preston, chaplain and prebendary of the free chapel of Penkridge; John de Newenton, chaplain and prebendary of the free chapel of Penkridge; William Duncan, chaplain and prebendary of the free chapel of Penkridge.
Name(s): de Preston; de Newenton; Duncan, Richard; John; William
Addressees: King.
Occupation: chaplain and prebendary of the free chapel of Penkridge
Nature of request: The chaplains request remedy as although their free chapel of Penkridge has had burials and mortuaries of all the parishes of the chapel of Cannockbury, which chapel belongs to the dean and chapel, the dean and chapter have sought to consecrate the chapel of Cannockbury and to disinherit the free chapel of Penkridge by having burials there and taking the mortuaries, and when the prebendaries sought to challenge this the dean and chapter had them falsely indicted and imprisoned in Stafford gaol.
Nature of endorsement: The chancellor, who is ordainer of free chapels, will visit the chapels and do justice. Concerning the indictment, they should sue before the justices assigned form the delivery of the gaol.
Places mentioned: Penkridge, [Staffordshire]; Cannockbury, [Staffordshire]; Stafford, [Staffordshire].
People mentioned: Dean and chapter of Lichfield.
Date derivation: The petition is dated to 1334 as the petition is published in Rot. Parl. II from a Hale manuscript which dated the petitions to the parliament held in 8 Edw. III (1334) (Rot. Parl. vol. II, p.77b (no.24)).
