VII. 5 February 1280

Know all men that I, Thomas Fitz-Gabriel, have remitted, and entirely for me and my heirs for ever quit-claimed to God and the Hospital of the blessed Mary at Dover, and the Brethren of the same place, the whole right and claim which I had in one half acre of land with its appurtenances, in the tenure of the said Brethren, in the village of River : which half acre, indeed, lies lengthwise between the land of John le Neue towards the north, and the land of Dionisius of Guston towards the south, and abuts westward on the land of William at Vesie, and to the east on the land of Dionisius at Bernes, to have and hold the aforesaid half acre of land with its appurtenances to the said Brethren and their successors for ever ; so that, to wit, neither I, Thomas, nor my heirs shall either be, or ought to be, able to exact or challenge in any way any right or claim in the aforesaid half acre of land with its appurtenances for ever : moreover, for this remission and quit-claim the afore said Brethren have given me forty shillings sterling in hand. 

In testimony whereof I have confirmed this writing with the muniment of my seal. 

Witnesses, Peter Corbaille ; Henry le Gold ; Robert le Gold ; Henry le Bard ; Dunstan-at-Stile ; John Pikston ; Peter le Londare ; Henry Underditch ; John le Neue ; Stephen Adgar ; Stephen le Wrake ; Richard of Coulinge ; and others.
