The commons destroyed Julius (? Giles) Allesley's gardens without the Grey Friar Gate (Harl. MS. 6,388, f. 16). Giles Allesley was mayor in 1426. Attilboro, a member of the usual council of twenty-four, who took part in the election of the mayor (Leet Book, 22), and Southam, a justice of the peace (Ib., 44), had gardens which encroached on the common lands, for which they were allowed, when the survey was taken, to pay a composition (Ib., 50-1).
