 In 1204, William de Rudge charged them 4 marks and an annual rent of three pence to consolidate and extend their holding, exchanging land he had given them earlier.He also handed over lands previously held by one of his tenants for a payment of a palfrey and four marks, and an annual rent of 12 pence.In every case, the nuns seem to be consolidating scattered and unremunerative holdings to try to obtain a better and more secure income.
