Comments
Subsequent 13th century murage pattern-1233-4, 1236, 1243, each for 3 or 4 years but with lists of tolls becoming longer; then none until the 1290-1, granted for 4 years, in which the 50 year period without grants is used as an argument for renewal of murage 'in order to repair the city walls and gates' (CDI I 2031/3, 2355, 2613 and III 622, 917). (Thomas)
Virtual identical to Kilkenny grant of 4 days earlier except rate on lead reduced from 2d. to 1d. and wey of butter increased from d. to 1d. (I suspect transcribing error rather than real change - but who's error, chancery scribe's or Sweetman's? Rolls now lost so no way of checking.)
