420. Confirmation by Richard de Dol, for his soul and for those of his ancestors, to St Peter of Westminster, in pure and perpetual alms, to provide lights for the high altar, of 2s. rent from land which Ralph Testard holds of him and his heirs in the viii of Westminster, lying between the land formerly belonging to William son of Ordric and that of Simon Poitevin.

Ita quod sacrista quis pro tempore fuerit 'predictos duos solidos singulis annis percipiet inperpetuum ad quatuor terminos anni; quolibet scilicet termino vj denarios de prefata terra quicumque illam teneat. Et ego et heredes mei warantizabimus predicte ecclesie prefatam elemosinam duorum solidorum contra omnes homines et omnes feminas. Nec poterimus ego vet heredes mei predictam elemosinam in aliquo minuere vel detinere. Quod si aliquod detineatur sacrista qui pro tempore fuerit liberam habebit potestatem distringendi prefatam terram et catalla in eadem terra inventa retinendi donec predictal elemosina duorum solidorum integre persolvatur. Ut autem hec mea donatio et concessio firma sit et stabilis inperpetuum, eam presentis scripti testimonio et sigilli mei appositione roboravi. Hiis testibus: Odone aurifabro; Magistro Simone de London'; Lodovico cleric°, Henrico Sumer; Galfrido de Cruce; Stephano de Berking'; Ricardo filio Edmundi; Willelmo pistore, et multis aliis.
