[Footnote 13-1: [From Fenn, iv. 308.] Sir Thomas Howes appears
to have died in the latter part of the year 1468. Before the end
of that year his living of Pulham was vacant, and his death is
alluded to in a letter of Margaret Paston’s, written on the 30th
September 1469, as having occurred ‘within this twelvemonth.’ It
would appear by the following extract, quoted by Fenn, from the
Institution Books of the Bishop of Norwich, that Sir John’s
presentation referred to in this letter was not allowed, or was
not made out in time, and that the Bishop presented by a lapse:--
‘Cantaria in Cayster-hall.
‘Lib. xi. p. 170, 21 March 1468. Mr. Joh’es Yetton, S.T.P. ad
col. Ep’i. per laps’.’]
[[Sidenote: 1469 / MARCH 17
_printed as shown, but text of letter says “xviij” (18)_]]
