Sciatis quod nos de gratia nostra speciali ac intuitu caritatis dedimus et concessimus ac per præsentes damus et concedimus dilecto capellano nostro magistro Georgio Trevilian, canonicatum sive præbendam nuncupatam Henisfeld in ecclesia nostra cathedrali Cicestrensi, vacantem et ad nostram collationem spectantem: Habendum, tenendum et gaudendum dictam canonicatum sive præbendam eidem capellano nostro pro termino vitæ suæ, cum omnibus juribus et pertinentiis quibuscumque eidem quoquomodo spectantibus. In cujus, &c. Teste Rege apud Westmonasterium xxix die Octobris.
      Per breve de privato sigillo et de data, &c.
      Et mandatum est decano et capitulo ecclesiæ nostræ cathedralis Cicestrensis quod eidem Georgio stallum in choro et vocem in capitulo, prout moris est, admittant. In cujus, &c. Teste Rege apud Westmonasterium xxx die Octobris."

    Maude BOWES,   d. Yes, date unknown  (Grandmother) 
    Notes 
    • Died without issue according to the 1620 Cornwall Vistation, which is to be expected as he was a priest and (if he lived that long) would have been elderly by the time priests were allowed to marry (1549 - so probably aged about 81).
