Copy of the testament of Walter Knyght of Preston aforesaid

In the name of God, amen, in the year of the Lord 1482, on the 7th day of
the month of November, I, Walter Knyght of Preston, being of sound
memory, make my testament in this manner. Firstly, I leave my soul to

Almighty God &c. and my body to be buried in the churchyard of
Preston. Also I leave to the high altar of the parish church of Preston
12d. Also to the church of Chichester 6d. Also to the fabric of the church
of Preston 3s 4d. Also I will that my wife shall deliver to the said church
3s that I received from John Hamond in malt. Also to the light of St
Nicholas 4s that I received in the offering box for the upkeep of the said
light. Also 3s 4d that I received for 16 lbs of wool. Also I will that my wife
and the wardens of the said church shall get 12d from Richard Scrase:
also, from the same, for a fat sheep, 10d. Also to the same church 16d
that I received from Ralph Blaker, which the same Ralph received from
Alice Cony of Brightelmeston. The rest of my goods I give and leave to
Alice my wife, whom I make my executrix, and Henry Est overseer &c.
