2 . TNA - SC 8/8/377

Entry Type:	Petition
Summary:	Archbishop Melton seeks remedy, stating that although custody of the spiritualities of the bishopric of Carlisle belong to him during a vacancy, during the last vacancy the king's ministers, especially Barton, took tithes of wool and lambs, mortuary gifts, offerings, pensions, revenues and other spiritual rights from the churches of Penrith and Dalston.

Reply that Barton is to inform the Chancery why he took these things.
