¹ Sir Robert obtained his indenture of lease of Haverah Park dated 26 Aug. 1490. A
further payment is recorded 5 Oct. 1498, App. II, 52; CB, 795; 90.

² In the Derbys manor of Ockbrook, conveyance of 7 Nov. 1475, CB, 600, 603; 150.

³ The date appears to be a copyist’s error: by deed dated 1 Oct. 1490 William Plumpton

to all matters in dispute between them. The result was that William was to pay 50s for
the herbage of Haverah, CB, 759. App. II, 58.
