Description:
12 February 21 Elizabeth
Peter Brese clerk and Thomas Burnell to answer Henry Cloughe who claims the right to present a suitable person to the parish church of Moore which is vacant.
Henry, by William Nielson his attorney, says that Queen Mary was seized of the advowson and presented William Elkes clerk, who was admitted. After he death, the present Queen became entitled to the advowson and on 24 July 12 Elizabeth by letters patent which Henry produces in court, granted to William James and John Graye the said advowson to hold to them and their heirs for ever.
On 14 December 14 Elizabeth at Ludlowe, by a certain writing which Henry also produces, they granted the advowson to Henry and his heirs for ever. The living is vacant by the death of William Elkes and remains vacant because Peter and Thomas prevent him from making a presentation - damage 40
Peter Brese and Thomas Burnell by John Lutwiche their attorney defend the case. Peter sayd that he is the parson and before the said Queen had any right, a certain Peter Hyggyns was seized of 3 parts of the manor of More into 4 parts divided and on a vacancy he presented Peter Brese clerk who was admitted temp. Henry VIII. Afterwards the church became vacant by the deprivation of Brese on sentence in the time of Queen Mary because he married, and the Queen on account of a lapse presented William Elkes clerk and he was admitted Peter say that the sentence of deprivation was declared void on 9 October 1559 by Richard Davids professor of Theology and Rouland Merygg professor of Law and Richard Pater, the Queen's Visitors and Commissioners General with authority to visit all churches etc in the dioceses of Llandaff, Bangor, St Asaph, Hereford, and Worcester: and Peter was restored to the said church and this he can prove.
Burnell says that Henry Clough has no action against him because before the late Queen had any claim to the advowson, Peter Hyggyns was seized of the said 3 parts of the manor of Moore to which the advowson belongs and presented Brese. Hyggins enfeoffed Thomas More in the said 3/4 of the manor and advowson: More enfeoffed William Jones, who enfeoffed Richard his son and heir, and he enfeoffed John More who enfeoffed Thomas Burnell - Queen Mary was never seized.
After various adjournments, the parties appeared before the Justices at Assizes in co Salop.

Note: This document refers exactly to the parish of More in the southwest Shropshire hills near the Welsh border.
1. Geographic Proximity: The document mentions the Assizes in co Salop and the town of Ludlow, which is the historic administrative center for south Shropshire, roughly 18 miles from the parish of More.
2. The "More" Manor Ownership: The text identifies Peter Hyggyns as being seized of "3 parts of the manor of More" and eventually enfeoffing Thomas More. This confirms the manor’s identity, as the More family were the primary landowners of this specific western parish for centuries.
3. Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction: The document refers to a 1559 visit by commissioners to the diocese of Hereford, which is the specific diocese that historically encompassed the parish of More.
Historical "Moore" Spelling: The document uses the spelling "Moore," which was common in the 16th century for the location now modernly known as More.
