sixteenth-century charter reissue with two visible erasure patches and a small replaced witness name.
Sixteenth-century charter reissue dated 1583, with two visible erasure patches and a small replaced witness name in the lower right. The replacement name sits in a slightly different hand and a marginally darker ink. Reviewed without reference to the later family narrative, then cross-checked against the contemporary register.
