2. Title: IPM for John Chechester
   Note: JOHN CHECHESTER 103 Writ. ‡ 28 January 1438. [Hill]. DEVON. Inquisition. Exeter. 7 March 1438. [Kelly]. Jurors: Robert Hille ; John Harry ; Richard Fortescu ; Stephen Gyffard ; Richard Holand ; John Holand ; Thomas Bosse ; William Bysshop ; John Heghes ; John Hacche ; Nicholas Coterell ; and John Pree . John Chechester and Alice, lately his wife, were seised of the manor of Widworthy and advowson of the church there in demesne as of fee, in right of Alice. Reserving the advowson, fines, heriots, and sales of wood, they granted the manor by indented charter dated at Widworthy on 29 October 1425, shown to the jurors, to Henry Whytyng and Margery his wife, Thomas their son, and Thomas Whytyng , all still living, for the term of the lives of Henry, Margery, Thomas, and Thomas, to hold by rendering £12 yearly at the four principal terms of the year, equally, to John and Alice, and their heirs, for the next 18 years and, with that period complete, they were to render £20 yearly in legal money at the four usual terms of the year, equally, to John and Alice, and their heirs and assigns. If the rent of £12 should fall into arrears by four weeks at any of the terms, or the rent of £20 should fall into arrears by 15 days at any of the terms, then it is lawful for John and Alice, and their heirs and assigns, to re- enter the manor and to hold it in their former estate, the charter notwithstanding, as contained in the charter. Alice afterwards died. John survived her, and died seised of £12 rent, the advowson, and other things reserved to them. Widworthy, the manor and advowson of the church there, held of John, earl of Huntingdon , as of his manor of Great Torrington by knight service. The advowson, fines, heriots, and sales of wood are worth nothing yearly. He held the following by curtesy after the death of Alice his wife. Aveton Gifford, 1/2 manor, annual value £16, with advowson of 1/2 church there, of no annual value, held of Thomas, earl of Devon , as of his castle of Plympton by knight service. Stadbury, 1/2 manor, annual value 100s., held of John Fortescu as of his manor of Ermington by knight service. He died seised of the following in demesne as of fee. West Down, a messuage and ferling of land, annual value 11s., and 10s. rent, held of John Pyne , service unknown. He held no more or other lands or tenements in demesne or service of the king or any other. But, long before his death, by indented charter dated on 28 March 1437, shown to the jurors, he granted the following, described as all manors, messuages, lands, tenements, rents, services, and reversions in Raleigh, Barnstaple, Pilton, Lobb, Arlington, Challacombe, and Ruxford, among other things, to John Copleston , Nicholas Radeford , and John Mulys , and their heirs and assigns, as contained in the charter. John, Nicholas, and John were thus seised in their demesne as of fee, and Ralph Hylle and Joan, and John Colemore and Cecily attorned to them. Raleigh, the manor with its members, annual value 100s., held of the earl of Huntingdon as of his castle of Barnstaple by knight service. Arlington, the manor, annual value £7, held of James, Lord Audley , service unknown. Barnstaple, 2 messuages, annual value 20s., held of the earl of Huntingdon in free socage. Pilton, a messuage, annual value 5s., held of the prior of Pilton in free socage. Ruxford, a messuage, fulling-mill, and carucate of land, annual value 46s. 8d., held of the king as of his manor of Bradninch, parcel of the duchy of Cornwall, by knight service. Challacombe, reversion of the manor currently held by Ralph Hylle and Joan his wife for their lives, by demise of John Chechester . The manor is held of the earl of Huntingdon as of his castle of Barnstaple by knight service. The reversion is of no annual value. Lobb, reversion of a messuage and 1/2 ferling of land, currently held by John Colemore and Cecily his wife for their lives, by demise of John Chechester. The messuage and 1/2 ferling are held of the older Seyntaubyn heir (de her’ maioris Seyntaubyn), of full age, service unknown. The reversion is of no annual value. Long before his death, and before the enfeoffment of John Copleston , Nicholas Radeford , and John Mulys , he granted an annual rent of 26s. 8d. from the messuage, carucate, and fulling-mill in Ruxford, for life to Richard Holand, esquire . The grant was made by deed, sealed with his seal and shown to the jurors, in the following words. ‘ John Chechester, esquire , greets all whom the present letters will reach. Know that I give and grant to Richard Holand, esquire , beloved in Christ, for his good service, past and future, a certain annual rent of 26s. 8d. sterling, to take during his life from my manor of Ruxford at Michaelmas. If the rent should fall into arrears, in part or in total, by one whole year after this term, then it is lawful for Richard and his assigns to distrain on the manor and to retain the distress taken until full satisfaction is made for the rent and arrears. In witness of which thing, I have affixed my seal to the presents. Dated at Barnstaple on 16 April 1429.’ By charter dated at Barnstaple on 29 September 1423, shown to the jurors, he granted 40s. rent for life to William Bysshup , son of Gilbert Bysshup , to be taken yearly at Michaelmas. He should distrain on the manor of Raleigh, if necessary, as contained in the charter. By charter dated on 6 October 1432, shown to the jurors, he granted 40s. rent for life to John Gogh, junior , to be taken yearly at Christmas, Easter, Midsummer, and Michaelmas, equally.

By indented charter dated at Raleigh on 9 August 1437, shown to the jurors, he granted 40s. for life to John Cancy , to be taken yearly in the manor of Arlington at the four principal terms of the year equally, as contained in the charter. By charter dated on 9 October 1430, shown to the jurors, he granted 40s. rent for life to Juliana Badham , to be taken yearly from the messuage, carucate of land, and fulling-mill in Ruxford, described as his manor of Ruxford, at the four principal terms of the year equally, as contained in the charter. By charter dated at Raleigh on 4 March 1433, shown to the jurors, he granted 20s. rent for life to John Colemore of Lobb in the parish of Braunton, to be taken yearly in Raleigh at the four principal terms of the year equally, as contained in the charter. He died on 14 December last. Richard Chechester is son of John as well as of Alice, and their next heir. He was aged 14 years on 22 February last.
