John Charnels of Bedworth, esquire , held in his demesne as of fee certain lands and tenements in Pailton, [Warwickshire], and by his charter enfeoffed William Pareys, parson of Widdrington , John de Grenehull of Attleborough and William Clerkes of Green End to them and their heirs. They granted them by charter on 26 April 1386 to John Charnels , Elizabeth his wife, and the heirs and assigns of John, and they were so held until he died. The feodary having heard that John was sole tenant in his demesne as of fee and that he had died without heirs took the premises into the king’s hands.
