MS. D. D. Ch. Ch. M. 129

Leeds.. R[ichard] abbot of Selby , H. treasurer, and L. canon of York , at the command of Pope Innocent III ([9] Dec. [1204]) have passed judgment in a dispute between the priory and the Abbey of Kirkstall over an agreement by which the Abbey was to pay 20/- for the tithes of 4 carucates of land in West Hadinglai, ½ ploughland in East Hadinglai, 2 carucates in West Allerton, and 1 bovate in East Allerton, and to pay tithe for any further land acquired in that parish (Leeds). The Abbey, accused of withdrawing the 2 ploughlands in East Allerton, objected that they had received the tithes and paid the rent for 50 years with right unshaken. It is now decreed that the Priory shall grant to the Abbey the tithes of grain and vegetables from the 2 ploughlands in East Allerton, in exchange for the tithes of 2 ploughlands of land in West Allerton, and that the Abbey shall pay 3/- more, and shall remit the tithes of 18 acres and one oxgang in East Allerton.. ⟨1204–5.⟩
