ñl J sunt duodecim milites comitatus Lancastrie, qui fecerunt perambulationem* de foresta p preceptum dñi regis, scilicet, Willmus Blundel, Thomas de Bethom, Adam de Bury, Willmus de Tatham, Ad. de Coupenwra, Adam de Molyneaux, Gilbertus de Kellet, Paulinus de Gayrstang, Patricius de Berewyk, Henr. de Lee, Grimbaldus de Ellale, et Thom. de Burnehull, qui dicunt quod totus comitatus Lancastrie debet deaffbrestari secundum Quememore. tenorem carte de foresta preter boscos subscriptos.

* This perambulation was taken 12 II. III., in consequence of the charts de foresta, 9 II. III., which enacted that all forests which had been made by Henry II., Richard, or John, should be disafforested, unless in their own demesne; and it argues no slight advance over the ideas of the times, that the Jurors should commenco their finding with these emphatic words, quod totus comitatus Lancastrie debet deafforestari preter boscos subscriptos. It is not known where the original perambulation is deposited, but the monks were too much interested in its fidelity to allow of an inaccurate copy being admitted into their archives; Toxteth being parcel of their possessions.
