This indenture, made at Lynn on 7 January 1359 between Thomas Reynald skinner of Lynn and Alice widow of William de Glosbrigge formerly a burgess of Lynn, witnesses that even though Thomas and William de Pountfreit skinner, burgess of Lynn, recently through a certain document made a life grant to Alice of an annual rent of 104s., due from a tenement owned by them in Briggate street, Lynn – as is detailed in that same document – Alice, however, wishes and (by this indenture) grants for herself and her assigns that the previous document, which is and shall remain in the custody of the mayor and alderman of Lynn in the town's common chest, shall not be put into effect or enforced while the conditions set out in this indenture are being fulfilled, but after the death of Alice shall be surrendered to Thomas or his executors or assigns.

[Those conditions being that] Thomas and [after his death] his executors provide Alice, for the rest of her life, at the appropriate times with food and drink in sufficient quantity and of the same quality that Thomas provides for himself and his wife. And that Thomas or his executors give Alice each year at Easter a fur-lined hooded coat, a new single-coloured tunic of woollen cloth, a new robe of blanket cloth, two new linen smocks, a new pair of gloves suitable to Alice, and three pairs of shoes. And that he or they ensure Alice always is supplied with a complete bed suitable to her status with four linen sheets, and with candles and heating materials as often and in as much quantity as she needs. Also that Thomas or his executors provide Alice for life with a chamber suitable to her status, with free passage in and out for herself and others whom she may wish to bring there, together with the service of one of Thomas' maids whenever Alice has need, be it day or night. And he or they shall pay to Alice, at whatever time she demands it, £2.13s.4d.

Thomas wishes and grants for himself, his heirs, executors and assigns, that if it should happen that he or his executors default in fulfilling any of these arrangements with Alice then the aforesaid document concerning the annual rent shall have force, be put into effect in all regards, and may be delivered to Alice. In witness to which agreement the parties have affixed their seals to the indenture.
