An agreement was made in the fourth year after the first coronation of Richard, king of England, ‘in cathedra sancti Petri apostoli’, in the general chapter of the Premonstratensians at Newhouse, before William, abbot of Lastingham and Robert, abbot of Newhouse, between Leicester Abbey and Dryburgh Abbey concerning the payment of 10s. which the abbot of Leicester claimed from the abbot of Dryburgh out of the gift of Richard de Morville for a half ploughgate of land at Bangly Hill (ELO), which Dryburgh holds. Leicester Abbey has quitclaimed to Dryburgh the land for an annual payment of 5s. that they had been assigned at Northampton; the canons of St James of Northampton shall pay to the canons of Leicester 22s. yearly at the Purification of BVM, which had been paid to Dryburgh for the church of Bozeat.
