Kew: The National Archives, E 142/119 mem. 3: Inquisition at Aylesbury on the Wednesday after Palm Sunday, 1309 (i.e. Weds. 26 March 1309)
Inquisition taken at Aylesbury in the presence of Walter of Molesworth, sheriff of Buckinghamshire. The jurors state that no one knows of any debts due to the Templars, except for four pounds eight shillings due from Richard le Hurley of Wycombe for cows he had bought at Wycombe from Brother Michael of Baskerville, then commander of London; which he has since paid to Gilbert de Holm, sheriff of Buckinghamshire.
