The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 2 (of 6)

Note 243.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 5)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] As this letter refers to the 28th year of Henry VI., seemingly as a past date, it cannot well be earlier than 1451. But probably it is not much, if at all, later.

243.2 The Christian name Herry is crossed out, and Meye (?) appears to be written over.

244.1 William Pope was vicar of Paston from 1447 to 1455.

244.2 Probably the Vicar’s Curate.

244.3 Haywards were (originally) persons who guarded a farm and crops in the night, and blew a horn on an alarm or robbers.—Halliwell.
