257. FUNERAL EXPENSES

 

c. 1480

 

    This account is written on two small slips of paper, stitched together. It
clearly does not relate to the funeral of Thomas Stonor (d. 1474); possibly it
may be for the funeral of one of Sir William Stonor's first two wives; if so
"Mr. Edmunde" may be the writer of No. 195. Several of the other clergy
come from the neighbourhood of Stonor. From Ch. Misc. 37, iv, 37, 38.38
