High Street of Beccles 150ft in length and 22ft in breadth troubling not the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds, although it was found by
inquisition before the Escheator taken of his office, that the town of Beccles had been an ancient borough time out of mind, that John,
late Abbot, erected that house to the nuisance of all the people passing, and that the late Abbot and the now Abbot have taken the
profits thereof from the time of erection; as upon mature deliberation in Chancery with the Justices and others of the Council learned in
law, it seemed to them that the Escheator had no authority by virtue of his office to make inquisition concerning such purprestures*,
and ought not to meddle therein.”
* An illegal enclosure or encroachment upon the land or property of another; as by an enclosure of building in royal, manorial, or
common lands, an encroachment on a highway etc.

The Abbot of Bury who had died in 1384 was John de Tinmouth. A new Abbot was appointed that year, William of Cratfield. Probably
the late Abbot was John de Tinmoth’s predecessor, John de Brinkle 1361-79. This would date the building to the 1360s or 1370s.

This is the Walk. It seems to be later than the Old and New Markets, but was built as a joining street between the already established
markets.
