On Christmas Day 2 Henry IV, Thomas and Joan Loundres leased their share of the manor of Ellesfeld [Elsfield], Oxfordshire, which came to the said Joan by right of descent from her late father William de Elsfield, to John and Joan Hore, for their own two lives. Joan Hore has since died, and the lessors now confirm their lease of the same property to John Hore at an annual rent of 18 marks during the lifetime of Thomas Loundres, and 19 marks during Joan's life thereafter. Indenture, witnessed by Robert James esq, Reginald Barantyne esq, Edmund Rede, William Swanborne, Hugh Benet, and others. Traces of tagged red seal. Sixteenth-century identifying endorsement. In pencil at top-right: '17'.
