{1} A calendar of the deed dated 24 March 1435, which was confirmed by these letters patent dated 1 Aug. 1435, appears in Henry F. Berry (ed.), ‘History of the Religious Gild of S. Anne, in S. Audoen's Church, Dublin, 1430-1740, taken from its records in the Haliday Collection, R.I.A.’, PRIA, C:25 (1904–5), 75, §101. Because RCH seems to have compressed many of the details, Berry's fuller calendar follows here (with minor editorial changes) for purposes of comparison:
'Alexander Hunter, chaplain, grants to John Burnell, master of St Anne's guild, Robert Wode and David Rowe, wardens, a messuage with stone house and garden adjacent in Rochelle Street, Dublin, parish of S.
