Notes for William Batisford
Pn 27th June 2006 Charlotte Smith produced another of her super finds, on soc.gen.med:

“Ana Luppertz has a great site on her Kenelle and  the Batesford family.  She just sent me a new find which really proves that Joan Batesford Brenchesle was alive in 1453 and that she was the sister of this Cicily and daughter of Wm Batesford.  
  
    Cecily who became abbess of Malling - From VCH Kent, Vol. 2: "Pope Boniface on 5 Dec. 1400 ordered the abbess and convent to assign a room in the monastery to Cecily Batesford, one of the nuns and another nun to be her companion for life, as by an illness she was greatly hampered in presenting choir and chapter hours (Ca. Papal Let. III, 355). Cecily died an abbess on 14th July 1439. In the next year her sister Joan Brincheslee made grants to the convent asking for a celebration at Cecily's death  anniversary at which three flagons of wine should be distributed, one to the abbess and the remaining two for the convent". (Roch. Epis. Reg. III, fol. 157d).
  
  This is the definite prove that Joan was a Batesford and lived unto 1453.
