Know all present and future that I, Alice, daughter of Benedict Le Riche of Dover, in my lawful widowhood and power have given, granted, and, by my present charter, have confirmed to William at Hall of Dover the four pence of annual rent, with the reliefs and escheats thence arising, and with all their other appurtenances, which the heirs of Matilda, formerly wife of Sir Peter de Burton, Knight, used to pay me annually, to wit at the feast of Saint Michael, for one half acre of land with its appurtenances, which lies in the tenure of Charleton, near the King's highway, which leads from Dover Priory as far as Stapingdune ; to have and to hold for himself and his heirs, and for any and all to whom he shall be willing to give, sell or assign them, freely, quietly, well and peacefully in hereditary right for ever : rendering therefrom to me and my heirs annually the service of one clove of gillyflower at the feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist for all exactions and cases held pertaining to me or my heirs, every tribute being abolished. And I, the aforesaid Alice, my heirs and assigns will warrant, acquit and defend the whole of the aforesaid rent, with the reliefs escheats thence arising, and with all other its appurtenances, to the aforesaid William, and his heirs or assigns, for all services connected with the said rent against all men and women, Christians or Jews, by the aforesaid service for ever. How ever, for this gift, grant and confirmation by this, my present charter, and my warranty made, recorded and firmly endorsed by my seal in the second year of the reign of King Edward, the son of King Henry, the aforesaid William has given me two shillings and sixpence as an earnest
