“Anᵒ Reg E. VIᵗⁱ Vᵗᵒ.

“Howffulment in the church soulde & delyvered by ye hands of John Greene & Robert Emme cherche masters.”

Amongst the various items of metal and woodwork, vestments, chests, books, &c., we have:—

“Item off John Wolbe yᵉ elder for an Albe and an old pantyd clothiiijˢ
Item to John Wolbe all yᵉ boks in yᵉ chercheijˢiiijᵈ
Item sowlde to Wᵐ Keele ij altar clothes, a robevˢ
Item sowlde to Sir John Westmels curate, ij robesiiijˢ
Item Sowlde Wᵐ Sawer ij corporaxs[23] wᵗ otre ofelmentiijˢvijiᵈ”

They were probably restoring their church, for we have two years later:—

“Itᵐ pᵈ for a wayn and iiij beasts for sand to the chercheviijᵈ”

This was in the first and second year of Queen Mary, and they were then busy putting back what they had sold in Edward’s reign, making side altars, etc., hence we find:—

“Itᵐ pᵈ for yᵉ clothe yᵉ roode was paynted onxiiijᵈ
Itᵐ pᵈ for paentyng off the roodeijˢviijᵈ
