RIEVAL (Abbey of). Thomas, son of Paulinus, canon of the church of St. Peter of York , quit-claims to the church and monks of St. Mary, Rievall, all the claim he has upon the bounds (divisas) of Welleburn near his land of Nagelt[on] and Wimbelt[on], viz. the bounds contained in the charters of Roger de Molbrai and Nigel his son; which bounds, the same Roger with his men and neighbours (vicinis) perambulated and affirmed by oath to be the right bounds of Wellebr', because the said Thomas's men falsely suggested to him that they belonged to his land of Nagelt[on] and Wimbelt[on]; and being unwilling unjustly to vex the said monks, he therefore, after full enquiry, makes this quit-claim, which is attested by Robert Paulini, his nephew, John de Hereford his cousin, and Robert son of Rainer Puer . (c. 1190-1200.) .
