John, who was of Nash and had lands of the gift of William Makenade and Margery his wife, who was daughter and heir of Robert Hanes, and brought her husband such lands as Peter Hanes sold to William Makenade above mentioned. He died at the beginning of K. Henry VIth reign [1422-1461 and 1470-1471, and left issue william Hawkins, who resided at Nash- the 12th year of King Edward IV [1442-1487 so 1454].

Reference: SC 8/308/15357

Description:

Petitioners: William Hankeford , knight, chief justice.

Name: Hankeford , William

Addressees: [Not specified].

Occupation: chief justice

Nature of request: Hankeford requests remedy because he was granted and paid for the reversion of the manor of Littleham but has not received it. Since St John owed the lady of Sturry a great sum of money for nearly £40 worth of land, on 12 July in the King's 2nd year [1414] at the church of St Andrew Holborn he offered to sell to the petitioner and those named by him the entire reversion of the manor of Littleham, held by Philippa, wife of John Flory for life, worth £20 yearly, for which Hankeford paid St John £200. After St John and Basset granted the same reversion to John and William Andrew and Dankyn who, it was declared to the petitioner's counsel at Plympton, had been instructed to grant the same reversion to Hankeford in fee simple by St John's son Oliver. Hankeford has often asked the feoffees to grant the reversion to him, Fulford, Richard and John Hankford and Daverrew, but they will not do so, claiming that neither St John nor his son ever ordered them to.

Nature of endorsement: On 9 July in the 6th year [1418], the council agreed that a writ be sent to St John to appear, in person or by his proctor, before the council in England on All Souls Day next to answer in this matter.

Places mentioned: Sturry, [Kent]; St Andrew Holborn, [Middlesex]; London; Littleham, Devon; Plympton, [Devon].

People mentioned: John SeyntJohn , knight; lady of Sturry; Philippa [Flory], wife of John Flory; John Flory; Thomas Basset, partner of John St John; John Andrewe , servant of John St John; William Andrewe , servant of John St John; John Dankyn, clerk, servant of John St John; Oliver [St John], son of John St John; Henry Foleford ; Richard Hankeford ; John Hankeford ; John Daverrew.
