vv.

[AnnieP]

Many thanks to you all but I do have more if you don't mind. 'in manner & form following first I give to the high ------ of Chichester ( this is the county city) ------ Item. I give to the poor etc. etc.'
 I do have some actual names of fields etc which are quite important as I want to identify them on a map but I may have to attach this on another reply, but I'll try. The names are --- Croft, ---- Rife and -----meade?

[veeblevort]

high Church of Chichister iiijd (four pence)

Hand Rise? First letters could equally be L on these two.
Holemeade?

vv.

[JenB]

I also think it's Holemeade

[stonechat]

Dirse Croft (The D is most uncertain)
Hand Rise (or Rife)

Holemeade in the parish of Tillington

[veeblevort]

Rise (or Rife)

'Rife' looks good. 

I first saw a long 's', but it's nothing like the one in 'Testament' and now I
see an 'f'. I can't seem to lose the habit of reading the whole word, instead
of looking at each individual letter.
