[Translation of the above]: Henry the Eighth by the grace of God, King of England and France, defender of the faith and Lord of Ireland, sends greeting to his eschaetor in the county of Cornwall. We direct you to make a diligent enquiry, by the oath of upright and legally competent men in your bailiwick, by whom the truth can better be known, as to what lands and tenements Roger GREENVILLE esquire, deceased, held of us in chief, as well in lordship as in service, in the said bailiwick on the day when he died, and what [he held] of others, and by what service, and how much those lands and tenements are worth annually in all their revenues, and [you are to report] the day of the same Roger's death, and who might be his closest heir, and of what age, and also who (singular or plural) occupied those lands and tenements from the time of the death of the aforesaid Roger, and received the income and profits therefrom, under what title or right, and in what way. And you are to send the inquisition without delay, clearly and openly made, to us in our Chancery under your seal, and the seals of those by whom it will be made, together with this writ. With me myself as witness, given at Westminster

[Translation of the above]: In margin: Cornwall
Indented inquisition taken at Stratton in the aforesaid county on the twenty-fourth day of October in the seventeenth year of the reign of King Henry the Eighth [1525] in the presence of Sir Peter EGGECOMBE, eschaetor and feodary of the said Lord King of his duchy and county of Cornwall, by virtue of a writ of the said Lord King of mandamus after the death of Roger GRENVILLE, esquire, named in the said writ, and [which writ] is sewn together with this inquisition, [the inquisition being taken] under the oaths of Thomas PENFOUN, esquire, Thomas UPPERCOTTE, William WHYSTON, Thomas LEE, Simon LEIGHT, John CALMADY, William TREBARFOTE, John TRYPLETT, John TRESUNCKE, John UNDERDON, Hugh CHAUNTERELL, John YEO, Richard FACY, Martin HYDON, Stephen WORTHVALE, and John GOBYN of Bure, which jurors, indeed, say on their oath that the aforesaid Roger GRENVILLE named in the said writ held no lands nor tenements of the said Lord King in chief or in any other way, nor of anyone else, in the aforesaid county on the day when he died. But the aforesaid jurors say on their oath that the said Roger GRENVILLE, for some time before his death, was possessed of the manor and burgh of Kilkhampton, with appurtenances, in the aforesaid county, and of the advowson of the church of Kilkhampton belonging to the said manor, as well as of 300 acres of arable land, 40 acres of meadow, and 120 acres of wood, with appurtenances, in Stowe and Dinsmouth, which are Barton lands and parcel of the said manor of Kilkhampton in his lordship, as of fee, and he being so possessed, some time before his death, by means of a certain indented deed which was dated at Kilkhampton aforesaid on the second day of the month of October in the ninth year of the reign of King Henry the Eighth [1517] (shown in evidence to the aforesaid jurors before the taking of this inquisition), thereby enfeoffed certain persons [namely] Richard GILBERT, clerk, John CHAMOND, John ROSCARROK, Thomas SEYNTAUBYN, Thomas HAYCHE, John GILBERT, Richard HOLAND, Thomas GILBERT, Baldwin MALETT, Thomas TREMAYN, John FITZ, Roger ELFORD, Thomas DOCTON, and Hugh PRYSTE, to have and to hold [the said properties] to themselves, their heirs and assigns, for ever, with the intention that they would implement and carry out the last will of the said Roger GRENVILLE, by virtue of which the same Richard GILBERT, John CHAMOND, and [other] feoffees as listed, were thereby possessed in lordship, as of fee. And also the same jurors say on their aforesaid oath that later, indeed, Richard GRENVILLE, son and heir of the said Roger, by means of a certain deed of his executed with his seal and signed with his sign manual (likewise shown in evidence to the aforesaid jurors on the taking of this inquisition), which [deed] is dated the sixteenth day of the month of October in the ninth year of the reign of our said Lord King Henry the Eighth [1517], under the name of Richard GRENVILLE, esquire, son and heir of the aforesaid Roger, approved, ratified and confirmed, in every way as it was then, the position of the aforesaid Richard GILBERT, John CHAMOND, John ROSCARROK, Thomas SEYNTAUBYN, Thomas HAYCHE, John GILBERT, Richard HALS [sic], Thomas GILBERT, Baldwin MALETT, Thomas TREMAYN, John FITZ, Roger ELFORD, Thomas DOCTON and Hugh PRYSTE, as well as their legal right, title and interest of and in the aforesaid manor of Kilkhampton and the other premises, already being in their full ownership and possession. And further the same jurors say that later the aforesaid Roger GRENVILLE, among other actions, willed and declared through his last will, proved in the appropriate way before the said jurors (and likewise shown in evidence to the same jurors on the taking of this inquisition), that immediately after the death of the aforesaid Richard GILBERT, then rector of the church of Kilkhampton, the aforesaid feoffees, their heirs or assigns, would present to the said church or rectory of Kilkhampton, John GRENVILLE brother of the said Roger, if the same John were then old enough to accept the said rectory and was without other stewardship, or otherwise that the said feoffees should present another suitable priest to the same church and rectory, [but] under the condition and stipulation that the same John GRENVILLE [should have] a certain pension of ten pounds a year issuing from the revenues and profits of the said rectory to supplement his stipend from the commonalty at Exeter, until the same John had some other benefice or annual provision for his life-time to the value of twenty marks. And also the jurors aforesaid say that the said Roger GRENVILLE named in the said writ willed further through his aforesaid last will that the said feoffees, their heirs and assigns, should be and stand enfeoffed and possessed of and in all and singular the premises, with all their appurtenances, to the use of the said Roger for his life, and after his death the same Roger willed that the said feoffees, their heirs and assigns should be and stand possessed and enfeoffed of and in all the messuages, part of the aforesaid manor of Kilkhampton, called Stowe and Dinsmouth, with all the Barton lands adjoining and belonging to the same messuages, to the use of Richard GRENVILLE, son and heir apparent of the said Roger GRENVILLE, and his heirs for ever, but under this condition, that Richard should live there, otherwise that the said feoffees should receive all the incomes, revenues and profits arising therefrom to pay the debts of the said Roger and to implement his last will. And furthermore the same Roger GRENVILLE, by his same last will, willed that the said feoffees, their heirs and assigns, should be and stand possessed of and in all the residue of the said manor of Kilkhampton for securing the payment of a certain annuity of ten pounds, issuing from the said manor of Kilkhampton every year, to Degory GRENVILLE, his third-born son, during the remaining life of Margaret GRENVILLE, then wife of the said Roger, and after the death of the said Margaret, [he willed] that the same Degory should have a certain annuity of ten pounds for himself and the heirs masculine of his body legitimately begotten, to be paid every year from the income of the manor of Bideford in the county of Devon. And also the same Roger GRENVILLE, by his said last will, willed that the said John CHAMOND, John ROSCARROK, Thomas SSYNTAUBYN, and Thomas TREMAYNE, should receive and levy all the rents, income and profits of the said manor of Kilkhampton, and arising from all and singular the premises (other than the messuages called Stowe and Dinsmouth with the Barton lands adjacent and belonging to the same messuages, and other than the aforesaid annuity or annual rent-charge to be paid to the aforesaid Degory), to pay all the debts and legacies of the same Roger GRENVILLE, in any way owed to any person or persons. And also the same Roger GRENVILLE, by his said last will, willed that the aforesaid John Chamond, John Roscarrok, Thomas Seyntaubyn, and Thomas Tremayne, should assemble together at Stowe once a year, every year, until all the debts of the said Roger Grenville were fully satisfied and paid, and there and then submit their accounts in the presence of the heirs of the same Roger concerning all the revenues and profits and the payments to his creditors. And any of the said John CHAMOND, John ROSCARROK, Thomas SYNTAUBYN, and Thomas TREMAYNE, may receive and have annually out of the rents, revenues and profits of the premises, for his labour, twenty shillings every year during the time in which the aforesaid debts of the same Roger are being repaid.
