(source: DRO catalogue entry; I have yet to see the actual document)
The date I show here is that shown in the above catalogue entry. However, Cheney & Jones show Easter Day in 1408 as being 15 April, meaning Passion Sunday would have been 1 April and the Tuesday after the 3 April.
Died Aft 20 Mar 1407/08 - On 20 Mar 1408 Joan, relict of John, granted property.

Family John GOTHAM, b. Bef 1370, Devon, England , d. Bef 30 Dec 1406 (Age ~ 37 years) Married - I suspect that John and Joan left no Gotham descendants, hence their land etc. descending to non-Gotham relations.
Grant of 1407/08 names Joan's husband as John, but I am only guessing it was the John who was a witness to a transaction in 1389.
