1360
John Farndale,
probably son of the Cattle Rustler, John Farndale Senior (FAR00042A), was probably born in about 1360.
1390
On 15 December
1390 at Westminster a Commission was granted to Robert Burgilon,
John Farndale, William Palmer and Sheriff of Salop to enquire touching
dilapidations and waste in alien Priory of Abberbury,
otherwise called New Abbey (Nova Abbia) by Abberbury
by Geoffrey Stafford, Canon of Rounton, late farmer
thereof.’
Alberbury Priory, west of
Shrewsbury, was a medieval monastic house in Shropshire, established about
1230. It was one of three houses in England belonging to the French Grandmontine Order. The monastery was small, with only 7
monks under a prior in occupancy in 1344, possibly supported by 'lay brothers'
who did manual work. In 1359, the then prior of Alberbury
was deposed for alleged violence, murder, and dissipation of the priory's
goods. In 1364, one of his successors was outlawed for alleged murder and fled
the house.
Salop
is a reference to Shropshire.
So John Farndale
formed part of an investigation into dilapidations in an abbey in far away Shropshire.
