- Title:
- Complaint by Axholme Charterhouse to Thomas Arundel, archbishop of Canterbury, concerning Monks Kirby Priory
- Scope & Content:
-
Complaint by Axholme Charterhouse (Lincolnshire) to Thomas Arundel, archbishop of Canterbury (r. 1397-1398, 1399-1414), that William Colman of Coventry, William Boseville and Robert Fox, with many others, had taken £25 12s 1d and other goods from the office of the receiver of Monks Kirby Priory (Warwickshire).
Axholme was founded in 1396 and held Monks Kirby Priory from then until 1399, when it was granted to St Nicholas’ Abbey, Angers (France). It would not return to Axholme’s control until 1415, and so the charter must date to between 1397 and 1399.
