Richard Le Scrope to Edmund De Stonor

33. RICHARD LE SCROPE TO EDMUND DE
STONOR

c. 1380

     The writer is presumably Richard, first lord Scrope of Bolton (d. 1403);
his cousin Henry will then be Henry, first lord Scrope of Masham (d. 1391).
In that case the hostel which Henry had purchased may be Scropes Inn in
Thames Street, which belonged to Stephen, second lord Scrope of Masham, in
1406 (Cal. Inq. p.m., iii, 307; Stow, Survey, ii, 13, 359). On 11 March, 1395,
a writ for livery of dower to Joan, widow of Sir Ralph de Stonor, was issued
to the Mayor and escheator of London in respect of a messuage in the City
valued at 100s. (Chanc. Misc., 37, i, 31). This latter is no doubt the tene-
ment in St. Peter by Paul's Wharf, which Sir John de Stonor held in 1354,
and is probably the one which Scrope wished to hire. From A.C., xlvi, 22.
