| Description | Parties:
1. William Somer of Hardmasse
2. Batholomew Conlyngs and Katherine his wife
Property: all 1's part of that tenement situated in Hardmasse between the tenement of John le Man to east and tenement of John Seleman to west, and the way leading from Hardmasseorde to Tounstall [Tunstall] to north, and the King's sea-crossing to south; with garden adjoining.
To hold of John le Man and his heirs for the accustomed rents and services.
Witnesses: William Baconn, John Gordon, William Hemmynges, John Seleman, Laurence Mychel
Dated: Hardmasse, Monday after the feast of the Annunciation 14 Edward III [27 March 1340]
Note: there is some doubt as to whether this deed relates to the Tunstall in the East Riding of Yorkshire as there is no sea crossing to the immediate south and other names do not appear to be local. There are two other Tunstalls in counties by the coast, in Suffolk and Norfolk. Neither the Suffolk nor Norfolk County Record Offices can identify any of the places referred to in this deed as being in their counties. |
