64. Judgement by abbot Hugh and prior Richard of Bury St Edmunds and prior Adam of Ixworth, judges delegate appointed by a mandate of Pope Honorius III (30 March 1219), in a dispute between the prior and convent on the one hand and William the treasurer of York, vicar of the church of Stradbroke and John of Louvain, clerk, parson of Stradbroke on the other, concerning the tithes of the assart called Bradeleye in Stradbroke which the monks claim belong to them on the grounds that they received the tithes of pannage before the land was brought into cultivation, and they seek compensation for the tithes lost for the previous 5 years. John of Louvain claims that the tithes belong to his church by parochial right because the land is within the parish, that the bishop has no right to confirm them to another church or monastery, that the founder of Eye was not patron of the church of Stradbroke and that his church has taken the great and lesser tithes for the last 40 years. Master Laurence of Lincoln, proctor of William treasurer of York, claims the same and states that the monks never received the tithes of acorns, nuts and fruit when the land was a wood. The judges uphold the claim of the prior and convent and William is to pay them 12m for the tithes taken for the previous 5 years and John and William are to pay the monks 5m for expenses incurred in the litigation. At Fornham All Saints. 1 July 1221. Sententia de decimis essarti de Stradebroc. (VerdictSTRADBROKE, SUFFOLK (ENGLAND)) Givers: Hugh (Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds Abbey), Richard (Prior of Bury St. Edmunds Abbey), Adam (Prior of Ixworth Priory) Receivers: Eye Alien Priory, William the treasurer of York (Vicar of Stradbroke Church), John of Louvain (Parson of Stradbroke Church)
