The Abbot of Malmesbury had now become possessed of three properties in Holborn: the tenement of Walter Barton, next to Staple Inn, acquired in 1387; Lyncolnesynne, acquired in 1369; and the tenement of Gailard Pete, acquired, like that of Walter Barton, in 1387. In the reign of Henry VIII., at the dissolution of the monasteries, there was still at this spot a chapel, a hall, a kitchen, and a "great garden," where the monks had "liberty to walk" when they came to London; and the brewery also was still in existence.[107] In 1399 a rental of the property of the Convent of Malmesbury was drawn up, in which the following items appear[108]:-- "De Firmario novi hospicii apud Londoniam vocati { VIII li. { pro missa Lyncolnesynne ad iiii^{or} terminos solvendo per annum { Abbatis De tenemento quondam Gaillardi Poet in Holbourne XX s De tenemento quondam Walter Bartone Allutarii XIII s IIII d" Written in a different hand, with different coloured ink, at the bottom margin of the page, and certainly of a later date, the following remarks have been added:-- "London Hospicium Armigeri jam magnum hospitium quod est ruinosum reddit per annum XL s Tenura Celda proxima annexa hospicio reddit per annum IX s tenencium Secunda celda reddit per annum X s infra silvam Tertia celda reddit per annum VIII s magni hospicii Quarta celda que est ..." [Here the page is cut away.] The "Inn of the Esquire ... which is ruinous" of the marginal note is obviously the same as the "Lyncolnesynne" of the original entry, with the rent reduced from L8 to 40s. per annum. It is not possible to date this note, but it was probably made in the fifteenth century. In 1422 the Society of Lincoln's Inn took what is believed to be their first lease of the Bishop of Chichester property on the west side of Chancery Lane; but the society existed before that date, as in the Corporation letter books Thomas Broun is described as Maunciple of Lincoln's Inn, under date of 1417. In 1466 the society was paying 9s. yearly to the prior of St. Giles' Hospital for Lepers for another part of its property; and no other rents, apparently, were being paid for any other part on the west side of Chancery Lane. But in the _Black Books_ of that Inn (vol. i., p. 8), under a date only sixteen years later than that of their lease of the Bishop's Inn, the following entry occurs:-- "In the vigil of the Apostles Peter and Paul 16 Henry VI. (1438) John Row delivered to John Fortescue and others in the name of the Society to be paid to ... Halssewylle _for the farm of Lyncollysyn_ in arrear for the 15th year (Henry VI.) in the time of Bartholomew Bolney then Pensioner in full payment 40s. out of money received by him."
