And he shall receive from
the lord each day three meals of the price given above. And thus
the work is worth 4d. clear. And he ought to find one man for two
days to cut heath, the value of the work being 4d., and he shall
have three meals each day of the value given above: and thus the
lord will lose, if he receives the service, 3d. Thus that mowing
is worth nothing to the service of the lord. And he ought to carry
the heath which he has cut, the value of the work being 5d. And he
shall receive from the lord three meals at the price of 2 1/2 d.
And thus the work will be worth 2 1/2 d. clear. And he ought to
carry to Battle, twice in the summer season, each time half a load
of grain, the value of the service being 4d. And he shall receive
in the manor each time one meal of the value of 2d. And thus the
work is worth 2d. clear. The totals of the rents, with the value
of the hens, is 2s.4d. The total of the value of the works is 2s.3
1/2 d., being owed from the said John yearly. William of Cayworth
holds a house and 30 acres of land and owes at Easter and
Michaelmas 2s. rent. And he shall do all customs just as the
aforesaid John of Cayworth. William atte Grene holds a house and
30 acres of land and owes in all things the same as the said John.
Alan atte Felde holds a house and 16 acres of land (for which the
sergeant pays to the court of Bixley 2s.), and he owes at Easter
and Michaelmas 4s.
