43. Confirmation by the above Jordan and Muriel his wife of various grants of
land at Clerkeftwell.
Date : 1152/62 (Bishop Richard is probably Richard Belmeis, 1152/62 ; Ralph the
dean would not then be Diceto, a contemporary of Bishop Richard FitzNeale, but might be Ralph of Langford, who occurs in 1142. The date of no. 42 (1141/51) makes Belmeis seem more likely here than FitzNeale. Richard and William capellani of the nuns occur after 1163 in no. 86.) MS. : Cartulary, los. 17v.-18r.
