Early in his career, Wollashull fell into dispute with John Spetchley of Worcestershire and others over tenements in Stratford-upon-Avon and its vicinity in Warwickshire, prompting him to pursue an assize of novel disseisin against them in 1414. The basis of his claim to these holdings is unknown.3 C66/395, m. 4d.
In 1439 the government recognized Wollashull’s status as a landowner in Worcestershire by distraining him for knighthood, an honour that he chose to decline.
As he had requested in his will, Wollashull was indeed buried in the church of the Greyfriars in London, where there still existed a monumental inscription for him in the sixteenth century. This was said to have recorded that he died on 7 Dec. 1453, presumably an error since his will was proved nearly a month earlier.4 Collectanea Topographia et Genealogica ed. Nichols, v. 389.
