General Notes

"John de Cherleton (the third of the name) was summoned to parliament from the 14th August, 36 Edward III (1362), to 4th October, 47 Edward III (1373) as 'Johanni de Cherleton de Powys,' being the first of his family who had the adjunct of 'de Powys' in their summonses to parliament. He granted a charter to the monks of Stret Marcell, the foundation of his ancestors, giving them certain manorial privileges.
"He was also a benefactor to the Grey Friars' College in Shrewsbury, to which his grandmother, Hawyse, was so warmly attached. In 45 Edward III (1371), he obtained from John Perle, of Shrewsbury, and Eleanor, his wife, the grant of a certain plat (placeam) of their land near Thomas Colle's 'standelf', for the purpose of making in that plat a certain staindelf for the behoof of the friars of the order of minors of Salop, to have and to hold the said plat to the said Sir John, his heirs and assigns, to the behoof of the said friars and their successors as long as they could break, cut, and convert any stone to their use in the said plat (dum ipsi fratres et successores sui aliquam petram in predicta placea, frangere, scindere, et quovismodo ad eorum usum lucrare poterint). And there is a clause, that when there is no stone left, the land should revert to the grantor and his heirs. Sealed with the lion rampant, and circumscribed 'Sigillum Iohis de Cherleton Dom. Powisie'.
"In accordance with the before mentioned contract made by his grandfather, John de Cherleton, with Ralphe, Lord Stafford, this John de Cherleton married Joane, the daughter of Lord Stafford. "He departed this life upon Thursday next after the Feast of the Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr in 48 Edward III (13 July 1374), being then seized of the manors of Lydam and Pontesbury, in Shropshire; the castle
and manor of Pole, the manors of Botynton, Thalgarthe, Mathrawall, and Wallwerne; of the comot of South Stratter Marghell; the lands of Southlanver-ghudell and Kerenignon; the comots of Kevelliock and Dendour; the cantred of Arwystley; the comots of Meghein Iscoyd, the Meghenant, and the hamlets of Trewerne and Teirtrefe, parcel of the manor of Botynton, leaving John, his son and heir, fourteen years of age, and Joane, his wife, him surviving.

"She (Joane) was deceased in 21 Richard II (1397), and by inquest was found to have died seized (inter alia) of Mathravl; the comots of Wystley Iscoed, South Stradmarghell, Botintoun; the hamlets of Trewern and Teirtreff; and the comots of Dendour, Mechan Ughcoit, Meghein Iscoyd, and Moghenant."
