Roger de St. John grants to the church of St. Mary, Berton, in frankalmoigne, certain parcels and "goras an capiei(?) gorarum" of land in Berton; also Agnes his native, who was the wife of Odo, with Ralph her son, and half an acre of land at Ragheford adjoining the meadow of Walter Frankelan . He makes this grant to preserve the said church from injury and detriment on account of a chantry which he ought to have in his chapel in his court of Berton, without any impediment and contradiction, freely and quietly, from all exaction of the mother church, excepting attendance of himself and family on five solemn days, and the great and small tithes of his lordship. (c. 1220-30.)
