Thomas Lambard and Robert Parmasey of Ipswich to one Thomas Fastolf and others of lands, tenements and services in Ipswich, charter in Latin on parchment [England (Ipswich), dated 9 February 1450] Single-sheet charter, 8 lines in a fine professional secretarial hand, opening with a small initial ‘S’ formed of penwork flourishes, tags from 3 seals (with remnants of red wax adhering), some small stains and folds, else good condition, 80+20 by 340mm. There may have been two or three men named Thomas Fastolf in late medieval Ipswich. The grantee here is in esteemed company (two of the grantors were prominent town clerks and Richard Parmasay was a chief tanner) and was probably the merchant who was town treasurer in 1448-49, Justice of the Peace in 1449-50, Member of Parliament in 1487 (see N. Amore, Late Medieval Ipswich, 2011, pp. 244-60), or perhaps the “pore kynnesman of myne” as described by Sir John Fastolf (d. 1459), who appears in the celebrated Paston letters as a ward of John Paston I.
