106 DUNHEVED. In 1384 Thomas Smyth, of the New Street of Lanceton, granted to Alan Craneforde all the grantor's right in 8d. yearly issuing out of the tenement of John Digard, which was situate in the free borough of Downhevyd, in a street which is called Bastehaye, between the tenement lately of Luke le Donker on the one part, and a tenement lately of Ivo on the other part. The witnesses are John Page, Mayor, Henry Box and Robert Peyk. Dated on the day of March next before the feast of St. Catherine the Virgin and Martyr, 7 Rich. 11.

The Hillond, the Blessed Mary, the Hillyall and Pilarie, the Mill, the services of the Blessed Mary, the Pix, the Fish Stalls, the Quarries, the Store, Rents lately of Thomas Gibba and others, and fees on entry to the Guild, are severally mentioned as sources of income, and the respec- tive collectors are named. One receipt is recorded which subsequent accounts may tend to explain, viz., "Also from divers sales of various things in the Church at the time of the Assizes, 2s. 4d." In this account is a recommendation to distrain the occupiers of Scrydon [Scarne] for 2s. rent in arrear. The Keepers of the Northgate were John Choke and Walter Tolla ; of the Southgate, Richard Grovyshend and Richard Cork ; and of the Westgate, Walter Skynner and Richard Gatir. Folded within this account was a narrow strip of parchment, intituled (in Latin), " Tax of a 15th part levied on the Burgesses of the Borough of Doun- heved granted in the seventh year of the reign of King Richard II. after the Conquest." Then follows a list of 173 names, with a sum varying from i6d., the highest, to i^d., the lowest, set against each name. Although these persons
