in the lifetime apparently of Elizabeth — for as appears by No. 6 

 Isabel (which is the same name as Elizabeth) his wife survived 

 him — to feoffees — unless, indeed, this charter refers to other lands 

 in Clyffe which he held in his own right, the prior title of which 

 we do not know. This was in 1457. He was dead before 1476, 

 when the surviving feoffees, Hungerford being dead, released their 

 right (a previous feoffment is not in the collection) to Isabel 

 Latton, widow, and one John Home, and their heirs. Note how- 

 ever that they say that they had these lands by the feoffment of 

 John and Isabel. Einally, in 1483, Isabel Latton, widow, releases 

 her right in a tenement in Clyffe Pypard called " Warennys " to 

 [the said] John Horn. 



This John Horn was, presumably, uncle to Elizabeth Pile, 

 certainly a member of that family. 



The names of the witnesses to these six charters are of value for 

 the history of the community at Clyffe and its immediate neigh- 

 bourhood, for they represent, as is usual in such cases, the adjoin- 

 ing freeholders, whether actually present or not — always a matter 

 of grave doubt, at the execution of the writings.
