Dispensation, at the king's request, to his almoner, Henry de Bluntesdone, to retain the archdeaconry of Dorset, to which the church of Gyssych (Gussage) is annexed, and those of Gritelintone, Wotthone Basset, Hanyngdone, Ruenhale and Middeltone, in the dioceses of Salisbury, London and York, which he obtained without papal dispensation since the council of Lyons, together with canonries and prebends of Salisbury, Chichester and St. Paul's, London (Cal. P.L.. i, 588). The modern names of these churches are Grittleton, Wootton Basset, Hannington, Runwell, and Middleton in - Pickering Lythe. March, 1309. Henry de Bluntesdon, almoner of the late king and one of his executors, on account of his age and infirmity, is not to be harassed in matters relating to such executorship (C.P.R., 1307-1313, p. 107). The archdeacon derived his name from Blunsdon St. Andrew, a parish in North Wilts, near Cricklade, or perhaps Broad Blunsdon, near Swindon. The connection between the family of Bluntesdon and York diocese was carried on through a Robert de Bluntesdon, possibly Henry's younger brother, a favourite of archbishop Greenfeld, who some ten years later was rector of Skirpenbeck and Burton-onTrent, near Burton Joyce (Calendar of Papal Letters, ii., 100-107). de fructibus ipsius ecclesie sequestratis per visum vestrum liberare facias; residuum vero fructuum predictorum sub arto sequestro tenentes, sicut nobis inde volueritis respondere.
