Note: In the time of Prior Norman and of Gilbert the Universal, bishop of London, (fn. 1) Henry I being king, a certain priest Ranulf putting off the secular habit to become a monk at Reading, gave to Holy Trinity in free alms the church of All Hallows London Wall and certain land outside the wall and sustained the fraternity of Holy Trinity and afterwards King Henry wrote to Bishop Gilbert who had seized the same church into his hands, as follows.
780. [c. 1127–34] Writ of Henry I to the bishop of London ordering him to restore seisin to Holy Trinity of its church of All Hallows and its land in his soke which Ranulf the clerk gave to it in free alms, for Holy Trinity has been disseised without judgment; the canons should hold it peacefully as they are able to justify by legal witnesses that they hold it in free alms.
