The oath of Adam de Morton, John de Couley, Henry de Rok, William de Cotes, Thomas atte Tounesende, Henry de Wolaston, Adam Le Freynce, Robert de Stocton, John Le clerk, Robert de Orshlowe, John de Hayward, and William Besse, who say upon their oath that Edmund de Morton held in his demesne as of fee on the day of his death, one messuage, half a virgate of land, a certain wood, and one vivary at Wylbrytton, of the King in capite, by the service of 20 shillings by the year, to be rendered at the King's Exchequer by the hands of the Sheriff of Stafford. at the Terms of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary and St. Michael by equal portions. And that the tenements are worth nothing by the year beyond the service aforesaid, because the tenements were not wont to pay more than 16 shillings by the year, before the same Edmund took the same tenements of the now Lord the King for 4 shillings by year more of increase. And there are no other profits there. And notwithstanding the said land lies uncultivated and in common and the buildings are ruinous.
They say also that the same Edmund de Morton held in his demesne as of fee, on the day of his death. one messuage and half a virgate of land with appurtenances in Wodecote of Master Henry de Percy, by the service of 40 pence by the year to be rendered at the Feast of St. Michael for all service. And the messuage is worth 12 pence. And the half virgate of land is worth 40 pence and no more, because the land is poor and sandy.
