Evesham Abbey
At the height of its prosperity the abbey was one of the largest and most stately in England. It had two dependent "cells" — Penwortham, in Lancashire, and Alcester, in Warwickshire — besides another in Denmark; the abbots were also the patrons of seventeen neighbouring parishes; they had a seat in the House of Lords; and they exercised civil jurisdiction within the bounds of the monastic territory. The great abbey church, which, besides the magnificent shrine of St. Egwin, contained fifteen altars, was commenced in the eleventh century by Abbot Walter and gradually completed by several subsequent abbots. It was cruciform, with a central tower, and was nearly 300 feet in length. The previous campanile having fallen, after being struck by lightning, a magnificent bell tower, still standing, was built by Abbot Clement Lichfield about 1533.

1403
The enrolment of the bedelry leases was, as
we know, very spasmodic, but we find the one for 1403 to John de Saynesbury and
Hugh de Brumburgh upon the rolls. This, it is recited, they took in their own
names, and were entitled to "all issues and profits of the office." 5
The lease, as we know, was for one year and the rent was now ^8, to the Earl of
Chester. The lessees appear at the time to have been in arrears with their accounts
as bailiffs to the Sheriff, and shortly after taking the lease they had to
obtain two sureties in the persons of Henry Coly and Gilbert Glegg to guarantee
that they met their liabilities in respect of their previous term of office, so
as to exoner- ate the late Sheriff, Henry de Ravenscroft. 1

Thus it is not surprising to find that John
de Saynesbury and William Fairrie, the bedells and bailiffs of Wirral on
several occasions between 1427 and 1437, were unable to collect the revenue of
the Hundred. Immense sums of money were in arrear, and to enable it to be
collected a special commission 2 was issued in 1437 under which they, and the
then bailiffs of the Hundred, were empowered to get in the arrears with despatch
from all debtors who were unable to produce receipts or tallies, or by some
other means to prove that they had discharged their debts.
