It was in relation to the ongoing jurisdictional dispute between their city and Norwich priory that Dunston and his fellow MP of 1422, Richard Moneslee*, paid a fee to the coroner of the court of King’s bench, Thomas Greswold, in London.
Dunston’s son and heir, Nicholas, entered the service of the wealthy mercer, Robert Toppe*, whom a Norwich jury indicted at sessions of oyer and terminer in the summer of 1441. The jurors alleged that in the previous March Toppe, then mayor of Norwich, had abused his powers by ordering Nicholas to arrest the mason, John Everard, within St. Martin’s church in the city.
