In the year 1563-4 there is an entry of the apprenticeship of Stephen Pele, son of Stephen Pele of Attelburnell, co. Salop, husbandman, to Symonde Coston { COSTON, Simon ‹ LBT 07244 › }, stationer of London, for seven years from November 1st [Arber, i. 227], which probably means that John Burtofte had died in the interval.
