Comments
At a Burghmote held 27/4/1411 it was resolved that murage should be collected for the repair of the walls etc. as was customary of old etc. Also that pontage be collected etc. And William le Oke and John Elstede were appointed collectors of the pontage for that year and they were sworn. (Winchester Black Book, 27) (Kleineke)
This appears to have been done without reference to royal authority.
