Nor may the said farmers demise house or land to any stranger or one of another's homage, without our special licence.
For we will that such gersums beyond the fixed farm be entirely paid to us.
Moreover the said farmers have received the following stock:—
The corn grange full of corn on either side the door by the door posts and by the beams beyond the door, and so sloping to the roof of the granary.
They have received also the oat barn full of oats by the east door post.
The breadth of the grange was 28 feet within, the length 39 feet, and the east end of the grange is round; the height in the middle is 19 feet; and at the side from the door to the curve of the round end the length of the wall is 30 feet, the height 5½ feet.
They have received also a heap of barley 36 feet in length, 11 feet in breadth, 11 feet in height, and 18 feet in breadth in the middle.
Moreover they shall be quit of a serjeant[125] in autumn every year except in the last year, in which they shall have a serjeant, by whose view, according to the custom of the abbey, the stock shall be made up.
They shall also be quit of our yearly lodging due, except that as often as we shall come there they shall find for us salt, straw and hay without an account.
And at the end of the seven years they shall render to us the aforesaid manor with the stock with which they received it.
