Et idem comes nullatenus essartabit vel assartari faciet a Wylner Desleye usque ad Ravennsley inter Wyshawe et ulteriorem costeram de (Hauerc) Haueksnest', nisi Langeley Knolles ad opus eiusdem comitis et heredum suorum et sex acras et dimidiam ad opus Margarete filie Willelmi Clement, et decem acras ad opus Willelmi del Hull', et quatuor acras et dimidiam ad opus Willelmi de parco, et sex acres ad opus Alexandri de Cruddeworth', et decem acras ad opus Nicholai de Cruddeworth', et quatuor acras ad opus Walteri de Bereford.

Et dedit eidem Henrico totum essartum suum in Burhale juxta assartum Walteri de Bereford, sicut clauditur inter duas magnas vias versus Langeley. Habendum et tenendum eidem Henrico et heredibus suis vel suis assignatis de predicto comite et herebus suis, libere et quiete, bene et in pace, [et] jure hereditarie imperpetuum. Reddendo inde annuatim comiti et heredibus suis vigniti denarios ad duos terminos, scilicet ad festum sancte Marie in Martio decem denarios, et ad festum sancti Michaelis decem denarios pro omnibus servitiis, consuentudinibus, sectis curie et aliis demandis. Et predictus comes et heredes sui predictum assartum cum omnibus pertinenciis suis predicto Henrico et heredibus suis et eorum assignatis warrantizabunt et defendent contra omnes gentes. Et sciendum quod dictus Henricus satisfaciet Henrico persone de Wyshawe de predicto assarto, qui portavit brevem super comuna (pastorum primoc) postea predictorum essartorum. Hec concordia facta est salva predicto Henrico et heredibus suis et hominibus suis et persone de Wyshaw communa ad propria alia sua in bosco predicti comitis ut in [ille de] persona, et herbagio sicut prius habere consueverunt. Et ut hec conventio et quieta clamantia rata sint et stabile, et imperpetuum permaneant, presenti scripto in modum cirographi (fo. 106v.) confecto predicti Thomas comes et Henricus alternatim [sigilla sua] apposuerunt.

On condition that the said Henry and his heirs henceforth shall be able to take nothing in the said assarts unless the same amount of common of pasture is given for all his animals and flocks and those of his tenants, except goats, with freedom to come and go into them and other assarts in the town (except the assarts of Simon son of Simon and Simon de Bereford) when the crops are growing in them have been carried away both blade and straw. And the said Earl shall by no means make assarts or clearings from Wylner Desley to Ravennsley between Wyshawe and the far side of Hawksnest, except Langeley Knolles to the use of the said Earl and his heirs, 6½ acres to the use of Margaret daughter of William Clement, 10 acres to the use of William del Hull, 4½ acres to the use of William of the Park, 6 acres to the use of Alexander of Cruddeworth (Curdworth), 10 acres to the use of Nicholas of Cruddeworth, and 4 acres to the use of Walter of Bereford.
