1. Dalton-in-Furness Fair Marker
Greetings, know that we have granted and confirmed by this our charter on behalf of ourself and our heirs. To God and the Abbey of Furness and the abbot and monks serving God there, that they and their successors may have in perpetuity at Dalton-in-Furness a certain fair each year lasting for three days. Namely on the day before and on the day and on the morrow of All Saints Day, unless that fair be damaging to neighbouring fairs.
Wherefore we wish and firmly order for ourselves and our heirs that the abbot and monks and their successors have in perpetuity the aforesaid fair, rightly and in peace, with all the liberties and free customs belonging to such a fair with these witnesses:
Walter, Bishop of Carlisle, William, Bishop Elect of Norwich,
Simon, Earl of Leicester, Stephen of Seagrave,
Richard de Gray, Master Nicholas of Farnham,
Aimeri de Saint-Amand, Bartholomew Peche and others.
Given by our hand at Westminster, on the thirteenth day of May 1239.
