1230-35 Robert de Depedene, lord of Depedene and son of Edmund, granted in fee to God's House of Southampton a fishery called the new weir at Depedene, rent 1 lb. of cumin or 2d. at Easter. [Ibid., p. 213-214] The grant is called the "Carta de Gordo" in the God's House Cartulary.

Footnote for piscarium: the fourteenth-century account rolls show that this fishery was farmed out, e.g. for 4s. in 1302-3 (R269), for 13s. 4 d. in 1308-9 (R 274), 10 s. in 1314-5 (R276), 12s. in 1337-8 (R 284), 6s. 8d. in 1399-1400 (r. 303). Nothing was received in 1320-1 because the weir had been broken down in winter storms.
