The Grey Friars in Oxford
Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
=Thomas Barly=, =William Cok=, and =John Cok=, who were not in holy
orders, desired ‘capacities’ at the suppression of the Oxford
Convent[1935]. A John Cooke subscribed the surrender of the Grey Friars of
Cambridge[1936].
=Simon Ludford= was a Minorite at Oxford at the dissolution. An account of
his subsequent career has been given in Part I, Chapter VIII[1937].

Grant of a house by William de Wileford.
The following document is by far the earliest private deed relating to the
English Franciscans now extant[1938], and very few grants in the Public
Records are of greater antiquity. The original is to be found in the
Oxford City Archives (No. 17). It is not dated, but it was executed during
the mayoralty of John Pady, who held the office from 1227 to 1229[1939].
The document is in excellent preservation, and the seal of W. de Wileford
is still attached.
