Priory of Hyrst, in the Esle of Arholm,

IN LINCOLNSHIRE.

THIS Cell appears to have been founded in the time of Henry the First by Nigel de Albini, whose charter, with two others of Roger de Moubray, will be found below.

In the Valor of the 26th Hen. VIII. the revenues of this little Cell are stated to have amounted to 77. 11s. 8d.a In the Ministers' Accompts of the 35th Hen. VIII. the rents appear to have risen to the sum of 97. 18s.b

upon white wax, marked Cart. Harl. 43. 1. 18.; the former represents the blessed Virgin and divine Infant, the latter a small figure; these Impressions are, however, very imperfect.

The Scite of this little Priory was granted in the 1st Edw. VI. to John earl of Warwick, and then valued at forty shillings per annum. The Particular for the Grant is extant in the Augmentation Office.

Scarcely a fragment of the Buildings is remaining. b Num. V.

Scokirke, Stowkirke, or Tockwith Priory,

IN YORKSHIRE.

A Cell to Rostel.

THE Chapel of All Saints, with two oxgangs of land here, were given to the Priory of Nostell by Geffrey FitzPain; before A.D. 1114, some black canons of that Monastery were sent to reside here.

King Henry the First confirmed to this Cell the grant of Geoffrey the son of Paganus, being the ploughlands at Tockwril, with all the liberties which he enjoyed. Aldreda de Harecure, relict of William Trussebut, the son of Geffrey, ordered the bailiffs, &c. of her lands to support the canons in their rights. Albert de Tockwith gave them two acres of land at Nes.c

A controversy arising about a certain tithe of bread between the canons here and Iveta de Arches, Pope Innocent referred the decision thereof to the Prior of the Holy Trinity at York, and others; but the matter was amicably ad

the

justed in this manner, that the said Iveta should pay canons half the tithe of her corn given them by her father, William de Arches; and that they should find a canon to say mass at Scokirk, for her soul, and those of her ancestors.d

A like controversy arising between the canons and Peter de Brus, about half the tithe of corn of his manor of Thorp-Arches, it was decided that he should allow them ten sheaves of corn, and they to find a canon to say mass at Scokirke.

In the 26th Hen. VIII. this Cell appears to have been of the value of 81. a-year.

Tanner has but one reference to MSS. relating to it: "Collect. d. Rog. Dodsworth, vol. ix. pp. 283, 284."

Bamburgh Priory, in Northumberland.

DUGDALE has taken no notice of this Priory in the Monasticon; and Burton, in the account of the Priory of St. Oswald, Nostel, has despatched it in little more than a single line.

Tanner says, King Henry I. having given the Churches of St. Oswald and St. Aidan here, with these Chapels, to the Priory of Nostell, some Regular Canons of the Order of St. Austin were settled here as a Cell. They were endowed, however, altogether, with what may be called a considerable revenue, as may be gathered from the Valor Ecclesiasticus and the Ministers' Accompts.

There is a Paper Survey of this Cell, 32 Hen. VIIIth,

in the Augmentation Office, which gives a very minute account of its demesne lands.

No SEAL of this Cell has been discovered, nor of any other of the Cells of St. Oswald Nostel, except Hyrste in Axholme.

The Scite of Bamburgh was granted 6th March, 37 Hen. VIII., to John Forster, Esq., with tithes in Bamburgh, Shafton, Synderland, Elynton, Roos, and Belforth, in the county of Northumberland, to hold to him and his heirs. A Seat erected upon the Scite by the descendants of Mr. Forster was pulled down about the year 1812.

Priory of St. Julian and St. Botolph, Colchester.

MORANT is so very full upon the history of this Priory that we shall make his account the ground-work of our own. It was founded, according to Morant, about the beginning of the twelfth century; Tanner says before 1107, by a monk named Eynulph, or Ernulph, who was also the first Prior. The scite and gardens of the Priory appear to have been all the land with which it was in the first instance endowed.a

Henry the First gave the Canons here the whole tithes of his demesnes in Hatfield Regis. He also confirmed to them the lands they had in Colchester and elsewhere; the third part of the mill under the Castle, called Middle-mill, and the Serjeancy, and all the lands which they had of the gift of Hugh Fitzstephen, upon condition that whenever he or his successors should make war in Wales, they should find one horse of five shillings price, a sack, and a spur, for forty days only, " ad custum regis." Finally, he confirmed to them land and houses in Canterbury, given to them by Bristerd and his wife Lunne.b

The property of these Canons, as it stood at a period somewhat later, will be found minutely detailed in the confirmation charter from King Richard the First.

C

In 1398, Thomas Whot and John Hervy gave three mesuages, two hundred and forty-two acres of land, seventeen of meadow, and xxia. in rent, in Peldon, Adburton, and Leyre de la Haye, not held of the crown, and worth yearly Ixiv3. ixa.; and also one mesuage, with the appurtenances in Colchester, held of the King in free burgage, worth ijs. per annum. The same year John Doreward and John Clerke gave two mesuages, a hundred and twentyfour acres of land, one acre of meadow, twelve acres of pasture, five acres of wood, and xvjd. rent in Great Teye, called Trumpington. John Doreward also gave the canons two acres of land, and the advowson of the parish church of Chigwell in Essex, to find a chaplain to pray for the soul of his father, ancestors, and benefactors. They had also thirty acres of land and two acres of wood, called Godekye, in Lexden, recovered by William de Colchester, prior, in the year 1419; f eighteen acres in Monkwykfield; s thirteen shillings rent out of Coke's place ; h the Church of Frating ; and a portion of tithes in Mount-Buers.i

d

"What other possessions they had," Morant says, "not already mentioned, appears in King Henry the Eighth's grant of them to the Lord Chancellor Audeley, which comprehended, beside the scite of the Priory, the manors of Blyndeknights, Canwikes, and Dilbredge, and
