1 .   TNA - SC 1/37/218
Summary: Letter containing various pieces of news. Report of money due to the recipient at Candlemas from Catton, Aughton, Alne and Acomb. Tollerton is unable to sell wool and stock due to the fear of war. The writer has spoken to the chancellor and the prior of Ellerton concerning the church of Aughton, and John [de Catton] will take the church of Catton provided the writer is his co-parcener. The king came to York 'this Thursday', and is staying at the palace, and the recipient's houses have been taken over by 'the earl'. The bishop of Chester, the earl of Cornwall, Beaumont and FitzWilliam came with the king, and are staying until Easter. The bishop of Chester has been sworn as Treasurer. On Sunday the king called together the knights of Yorkshire, and said that everything done in London was done against his will and he has revoked it. The king has given Cottingham church to Hothum, with whom he dined on his first night in York.

2 .   TNA - CCR 1327-30, p.214
Summary: Memorandum that in the archbishop's palace in York, where Queen Isabella was lodged, before Archbishop Melton, Bishop Hotham, chancellor, Bishop Burghersh, treasurer, and Scrope, Langeton and Sexdecim Vallibus asked whether Melton would cause his place called 'the old bailey' to be defended against the Scots, as they defend the city, but Melton said that the bailey is within the city, and part of it, and thus it was the city's responsibility. He only arranged its defence on one occasion, during time of great peril, on the condition that it was no precedent, as shown in a document. The officials agreed with the document, but said that place was not part of the city, and the fortifications were the archbishop's to defend. Melton agreed to garrison it on this occasion, while the queen and her children were present, on condition that the city assist should the Scots attack, and that this is not taken as precedent. This was agreed.
