Deopham
In 1465, Sir John Bowde was unhappy with his remuneration and therefore wrote to the prior of Canterbury asking for a pay rise, otherwise he would have to leave his post or take legal action.
The full text of his petition and the twenty two residents who lent their support is available here.
It is not known whether his appeal had a successful outcome.
