DescriptionDate: 12 Feb in the 23rd year of Elizabeth.

Thomas Metcalfe was attorney of John Darley, and Robert Clough of William North and Ursula his wife, who were vouchees. Robert Mawe and Leonard Best were sheriffs of Yorkshire.

An apparently irrelevant note follows to the effect that John Darley was allowed to continue building on an empty space, between his house late in the tenure of Christopher Metcalfe, and a tenement then in the tenure of Haxbye’s wife in the parish of Saint Martin’s, and next to a lane. Those who agreed to this, had a note made in the “Church booke.”
