Folios 136r–141r contain documents relating to property in Gutter Lane. The red-ink heading on f. 136r reads “Goturlane by Hillys”, and thereafter the verso pages have the heading “Goter” and the recto pages “lane”.

A different hand has taken over here. One must note that not a single one of these documents is accompanied by a note of the date of its enrolment. One also notes that the sequence in which documents are presented is in reverse order to that of the preceding sections: here the most recent document is presented first and the scribe has then worked backwards from that (although not all is in strict chronological order).

One notes also that this scribe does not have nearly as good a command of Latin as the previous scribes. Some words are oddly spelt, some extra “&” are included, some words are in an odd order etc. He is copying but is not fully competent in the language, and abbreviated words in his original, grammatical endings and other, or unclearly written words have caused him problems.
