Note 226.3 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 5)

Reading edition

[From Blomefield’s Norfolk, vi. 483. Folio edition, iii. 692.] The original of this document was probably among the Paston MSS. when Blomefield composed his History of Norfolk, but where it is at present cannot be ascertained. It is cited by Blomefield, or perhaps by his continuator, Mr. Parkin, as ‘a very long but narrow roll,’ then in his possession. The text, however, does not seem to be printed entire, as the Editor only professes to give ‘several particulars therein.’

226.4 At Norwich.

226.5 27th May 1466.

228.1 Robert Coteler, who was presented to the living by John Paston in 1465, on the resignation of Thomas Howys.

228.2 A short blank occurs in Blomefield after ‘xxix.’ and before ‘xvii.’

229.1 Blomefield or his continuator here speaks in his own person.

230.1 A church in Norwich, rebuilt by John Paston in 1460, the advowson having been acquired by him and Margaret, his wife, in 1458. The date of the rebuilding is engraved in stone on a buttress by the north door.

231.1 Masses called ‘certeynes’ are referred to in No. 53 (vol. ii. p. 64).
