303.3 He was a lawyer of some eminence, received the honour of knighthood from Henry VIII., and was Sheriff of Norfolk in 1517-18. He died in 1554. It was his grandson, another Sir William, whose name is so well known in Norfolk as the founder of the North Walsham Grammar School.

303.4 Nos. 929, 930.

304.1 No. 932.

304.2 No. 933.

304.3 No. 956.

305.1 Nos. 934, 935, 936, 937, 943.

305.2 Nos. 932, 978.

305.3 No. 931.

305.4 Oxnead, which was certainly vacant at the date which I have supposed to be that of Margaret Paston’s application to Dr. Pykenham, was in her mother-in-law Agnes Paston’s gift; but it is not at all unlikely that this was the living in question, as she may reasonably have expected to be able to prevail upon the old lady to give it to her grandson.

306.1 No. 941.

306.2 No. 949.

306.3 Nos. 945, 946.

306.4 No. 950.

306.5 No. 942. See a previous letter of his, No. 939, and also a notice of his schooling as early as August 1477, when Margaret Paston writes to Sir John to pay for his board and school-hire, gowns, and other necessaries (No. 917).

306.6 No. 842.

307.1 No. 942.

307.2 No. 974.

307.3 No. 975. There is an oversight in the preliminary note to this letter. The date is certainly 1481, and no later, as Margaret Paston in her will makes bequests not only to Edmund and his wife Catherine, but to their son Robert, who must therefore have been born before February 1482.

307.4 No. 952.

308.1 No. 953.

308.2 No. 956.

308.3 No. 962.

308.4 906-908.

309.1 No. 962.

309.2 No. 940.

309.3 No. 963.

309.4 Nos. 970, 982, 983.

309.5 No. 957.

310.1 Nos. 852 and 853, which by inadvertence I have assigned to the year 1474. They are undoubtedly of the year 1479, the former being written just before Sir John Paston’s death, and the latter after it.

310.2 No. 998.

310.3 The exact date is given as the 4th November 1484 in a calendar prefixed to an old MS. missal in the possession of the late Mr. C. W. Reynell.

311.1 No. 978.
