She held no lands or tenements of king in chief, or any other, in her demesne as of fee or in service. Philip Hevenyngham , William Corby, parson of Erwarton , and John Gerveys, chaplain , were lately seised of the manor and advowson of Erwarton in their demesne as of fee. During the reign of ‪ Richard II , they granted them to Bartholomew and Joan then his wife, and to the heirs of Bartholomew, to hold of the king and his heirs by due service. Royal licence was obtained by royal letters patent, shown to the jurors [CPR 1388–92, p. 243]. Erwarton, the manor and advowson of the church there, held of the king in chief, service unknown. There is the site with buildings, worth nothing yearly; 40 a. arable, each acre truly worth 4d. yearly; 4 a. meadow, each acre worth 6d. yearly; 40 a. pasture, each acre worth 2d. yearly; 20s. assize rent, payable at Midsummer and Candlemas equally; and a court baron held every three weeks, worth 12d. yearly above the steward’s fee. John Hevenyngham, chevalier , was lately seised of the manor and advowson of Brome (Broomdavillers) in his demesne as of fee. During the reign of ‪ Richard II , he granted them to Bartholomew and Joan then his wife, and to the heirs of Bartholomew. Royal licence was not obtained. Brome, the manor and advowson of the church there, held of the king in chief, service unknown. There is the site, worth nothing yearly; 100 a. arable, each acre worth 4d. yearly; 20 a. pasture, each acre worth 6d. yearly; 12 a. meadow, each acre worth 8d. yearly; 30s. assize rent, payable at Midsummer and Candlemas equally; and a court baron held every three weeks, worth 12d. yearly above the steward’s fee. The manor is known as Beauchamp as well as Brome. Bartholomew died so seised without heir of his body. After the death of Joan, right of reversion descended to Isabel who was the wife of Oliver Calthorp, knight , as sister and heir of Bartholomew. ‪ Richard II pardoned the offence relating to the manor and advowson of Brome by letters patent [CPR 1388–92, p. 502], and further granted the manor and advowson to Joan for life without impediment by the king or his heirs, provided that the manor, etc., remain to the right heirs of Bartholomew. The grant is fully apparent in the letters patent, shown to the jurors. The king then directed a writ to his escheator in Norfolk, reciting that since Bartholomew Bacon, knight , deceased, and Joan his wife had purchased from John Hevenyngham, chevalier , for them and the heirs of Bartholomew, the manor of Brome together with the advowson of the church of the same vill, held of the late king in chief, and since they had entered possession without the king’s licence, for which offence the late king had pardoned Joan by his letters patent after the death of Bartholomew, the escheator is ordered to deliver the manor and advowson, taken into the king’s hand by the death of Bartholomew and, for that reason and because of the offence, yet in the king’s hand, to Joan without delay, in form aforesaid. The escheator delivered the manor and advowson of Brome to Joan. The king then directed another writ to the escheator of Norfolk and Suffolk , reciting that since Bartholomew Bacon, knight , had held the manor of Erwarton on the day he died, among other things, together with advowson of the church of the same vill, held of the late king in chief, jointly enfeoffed with Joan then his wife by enfeoffment of Philip Hevenyngham , William Corby, parson of Erwarton , and John Gerveys, chaplain , to Bartholomew and Joan, and to the heirs of Bartholomew, royal licence obtained, the escheator, having taken fealty of Joan, is ordered to remove the king’s hand without delay from the manor and advowson, and to deliver to Joan the issues of the manor dating from the time of Bartholomew’s death. The escheator took Joan’s fealty and delivered the manor to her. Joan entered the manor by virtue of the writ and held it in form aforesaid. Isabel afterwards, by her deed dated at Burnham Thorpe on 1 July 1411 and shown to the jurors, granted, among other things, the reversion of the manor of Brome, described as the manor of Beauchamp in the vills of Oakley, Stuston (Thuston), Thrandeston, and Brome (Broom), reversion of advowson of the church of Brome, reversion of the manor of Erwarton, and reversion of advowson of the church there to Simon Felbrygge , Brian Stapulton, knight , William Paston of Paston, and Richard Golle , still living, Miles Stapulton, knight , Robert Maltby, esquire , William Walpole , and Nicholas Chirche , now deceased, and to their heirs and assigns. Royal licence was not obtained. Joan, holding the manors, etc., for life, thus attorned to Simon, Brian, William, Richard, Miles, Robert, William, and Nicholas. She died so seised, and reversion belongs to Simon Felbrygge , Brian, William Paston , and Richard Golle , and to their heirs.
Date of death and heir as 330.
