Note 95.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VII.

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] The writer of this letter was John Bonwell, who was made Prior of Norwich in 1480, and died in 1488. As it is actually dated in the second year of Henry VII., it must have been written either after the 22nd August in 1486 or before that date in 1487. Most probably it is of the latter year. It is endorsed in a contemporaneous hand—‘Billa Prioris Norwic’ pro missa perpetue fundanda.’ One or two words are now lost by the decay of the paper, which seem to have been visible in the text when Fenn copied the MS. for his fifth volume.

96.1 John Haverland was Prior of Norwich from 1436 to 1453.

96.2 Prior from 1453 to 1471.

97.1 The writing is here blurred and indistinct, being written on an erasure.

98.1 John Alcock.

98.2 Blanks in MS.
