Holdings

He was not sole tenant of any lands or tenements held of the king. William Tounlond of London, ‘merser’, was lately seised of the following messuage and land in demesne as of fee. He granted them to John Edyncham of Woodchurch and Joan, who was wife of Thomas Whedot of Warehorne, and to the heirs and assigns of John. The grant was made by his charter dated at Woodchurch on 14 October 1429, and royal licence was obtained as shown by letters patent dated at Westminster on 13 October 1429, shown to the jurors [CPR 1429–36, p. 4].ⁿ⁰²³ The messuage and land were described in the grant as the manor of Townland in the parish of Woodchurch. John and Joan were thus seised of this estate and no other in the manor. By his charter dated at Woodchurch on 20 September 1431, shown to the jurors, John granted the manor, without royal licence, to Richard Edyncham , his son, then of full age, and to Alan Edyncham , John atte Hope , and William Harlakynden , and to their heirs and assigns. John Edyncham afterwards died and Joan released her entire right in the manor to Richard, Alan, John, and William, by deed. They were thus jointly seised of the manor, and Richard died seised of this estate, and no other, on 21 April 1438. Alan, John, and William are still living.
