Trottiscliffe

Toto hoc tempore Episcopus Roffensis moram fecit apud Hallynges & Trottisclive, sollicitus de mirabilibus mundi; & Ordines celebravit in utroque loco certis interstitiis temporum.

All this time the Bishop of Rochester stayed at Hallynges and Trottisclive, anxious about the strange things happening in the world. In both places he held ordinations [of clergy] at the appointed seasons.

Anno xxiv. regni Regis Edwardi III. per totum illum annum Episcopus Roffensis senex & decrepitus apud Trottisclyve morabatur, languens & dolens de subitâ mutatione saeculi; quia in omnibus Maneriis Episcopatûs aedificia & clausurae corruebant, & vix Maneria illo anno de centum libris respondebant.

In the twenty-fourth year of King Edward III's reign, the Bishop of Rochester, old and frail, stayed at Trottisclyve all year. He was weak and grieving over how suddenly the world had changed. On every manor of the bishopric the buildings and fences were falling down, and that year the manors barely brought in a hundred pounds.
