IRHB comments

The text cited above is the National Archives' précis of the original record. Both Caenby and Glentham are in Lincolnshire (see Google map). The term 'Hospitis Super Stratum' refers to the hospital that is still remembered in the place-names Normanby-by-Spital and Owmby-by-Spital, immediately south of Caenby (see Google map). The street referred to in 'Super Stratum' was Ermine Street, the present A15. The hospital was at least as old as the reign of Edward II, when one John, son of Richard de Vendeur, vicar of Thevelby, was granted land for it in nearby Hemswell and Harpswell.[2]
