Godwin will hold the land for life and shall give surety to the priory. If Godwin's heirs default or leave the tenements because of poverty ('inopia'), the priory shall lease ('loco') it at their pleasure. The grant is made because of reverence for St Thomas Becket and for restoring annually ('ad renovandum annuatim') the place in which his body rests, and for Robert's soul and the souls of his wife, ancestors and heirs. No date. [Date: handwriting.]
