Notum sit omnibus hoc praesens scriptum visuris, vel auditurus, quod ego, Johannes Lovet, Dominus de Amnet, tradidi, et concessi, Dominae lsabellae, matri meae, uxori Willielmi de Blount, totum manerium meum integrum, cum omnibus terris, redditibus, cum omnibus pertinentibus, &c. in Timberlake provenientibus, ad totam vitam suam, habendum, &c. reddendum inde, annuatim, ad natalem Domini, unum denarium. Hiis testibus, Will^mo. de Porter, Philippo de Upton, Johanne de la Herdwicke, Domino F. Capellano, Will^mo. de Berton, Clerico, Reginaldo de Veteri Aula, Domino Stephano de Betton, Capellano, et multis aliis.
