This Day in History: 1484-10-20

On 20th October 1484, Richard III sent Nicholas Leventhorp a warrant to see that the house of Dame Margaret Moulton ‘Anchres of Pountfret’ and the chapel adjoining were newly ‘redeified’ at the king’s costs. An annuity of 40s (nearly £1400 in today’s money) plus restoration of rights to twenty acres of pasture to the Priory of St John were also made.
