[Footnote 162-1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] From the mention of
‘Master Fitzlewes, Knight of Essex,’ I am inclined to think this
letter must be of the reign of Henry VII., and addressed to the
later Sir John. Sir Lewis Fitzlewes of West Horndon, in Essex, was
attainted as a Lancastrian in 1471, but the manor was restored to
his son, Sir Richard, by Henry VII., who presented to the living
from 1494 to 1519. The letter, however, must of course be earlier
than 1503, the year in which Sir John Paston died.]
