Rents due in remembrance of fathers and mothers, St Andrew’s Priory, Rochester, c.1235

Unsure what ‘in remembrance of fathers and mothers’ specifically refers to, but possibly it relates to payments for the upkeep of memorial stones for deceased family members. The amounts are in pennies, so relatively small.
