Grant of 2s of annual rent for the land held in the great south street between the church of All Saints and the land of William the Farrier (GBR/J1/373)

This grant, from Egeas the Fisher, burgess of Gloucester, and his wife Alice, to Richard of Chiltenham, burgess of Gloucester, is for 2s of annual rent that Egeas and Alice customarily paid to Richard.  The grant is dated to about 1240 and shows an evolution of the name Kingsholm, from ‘Chingeshame’ to something more recognisable to us today – ‘Kingesham’, as it was witnessed by Hugh of Kingesham, whose name and place can be seen towards the left of line 14 .  Coincidentally, it also shows an ancestor of the author, Robert de Puteleye.
