"Ecclesie et capitulo nostre Exon'" (fol. 1r) in Grandison's hand (erased but legible by u. v. light). Inscription (s. xv) on fol. 5v partly legible at line ends: '"... dedit / ... Cathenandum/ ... si quis/ ... anathema habeat dei omnipotentis beate ann[e]/ ... /." "Capellam" appears to be legible near beginning of l. 2, and was read by M.R. James.

Lambeth Palace 188, fols. 168–174, was part of Lambeth Palace 104, fols. i, 1–208.

Writing in Grandison's hand.

Two inscriptions on fol. 15r (head and foot) erased and now quite illegible, as reagent has been used. Possibly the inscr. on fol. 5v was of gift to the chapel of St. Anne at Exeter (?).
